Umm, Mike, you know that you left yourself wide open there.  ;^)

Not at any speeds that we're going to encounter during Solo 2 events, that's
for sure.

I dunno Mike.  Why don't you put head lights on your car and go out on the
freeway late at night, once it warms up, and find out for yourself.   Better
yet, remember Cannonball Run with Jackie Chan driving the Mitsubishi with
the night vision gear?  I really REALLY want to see the cops face when you
get pulled over in that shiny new March due to, umm, shall we say excessive
speeds.

It's a good thing that I don't own a CM car 'cuz the temptation would be
just too great to resist.

See you on course.

Running my rig around ninety-five
Rockin' and rollin' in overdrive
My heart's beating like a jackhammer
It's the midnight ride for the gear jammer
