What’s the fastest you’ve driven?

I can remember back in 1981, I was 16 and the lake had froze up really smooth. We tied a Rope behind my buddies truck. 70 mph is very fast on a pair of skates.

Pulled over in Anaconda, MT after hitting 130 in my VW GTI on my way home from Bozeman freshman year. God Bless Montana, $45 ticket, cash out the window to the Anaconda Courthouse.

May or may not have hit the governor in the Raptor on a long-distance visibility two-track running to town when camp ran out of beer midway through a hunt...

160 on my CBR929RR, and 130 in a 77 Vette.

Fastest in a car on a public roadway was 156 in a Porsche 930 Turbo Carrera. That was top speed but the car was rock solid, I wish it had a higher top end.

Fastest on a closed race track was 128 in a Ferrari F430 Scuderia on 800 yard straightaway of a 1.3 mile 9 turn road course. That was a bit hairy as the end of the straight was a 90 degree left-hand turn. The car had a lot more in it, the track didn’t.

The fastest on water was approximately 80-85. I was slalom skiing behind a jet boat with a top end of 78 and fell crossing the wake. They said I skipped across the water like a thrown rock. Broke all the buckles on my life jacket, knocked the wind out of me and was pissing blood from bruised kidneys. Never water skiied that fast ever again.
