People don't travel at that speed on those (designed for high speed) roads unless there is good weather, low traffic, and most importantly, they know their cars and how they'll perform. They don't take a car with questionable tire inflation, questionable shocks, etc. and get in a left lane.
IMHO what you did was very dangerous.
Well, how did I make it?

Why didn't I have a wreck with anybody?

Because I was driving within my abilities and I took all variables into consideration, that's why. In a nutshell, I was right.

I said 115 MPH, not 1150 MPH. Was that the confusion?
