They have target speeds from 95 to 150 in 5 mile increments.  Above 150 it
jumps to 10 mile breaks to 180 ... then unlimited.  Your entry price varies
depending on target speed.  Ed could give you the information on that.  Back
in your part of the country it would be impossible to find a 90 mile stretch
of almost completely fenced highway where you could average 198.9988 like
the fastest car did.  ... Guess it would be hard to average 95 on any
highway back there for 90 miles.
