As an occasional NHRA bracket racer, I'm much more comfortable driving at far-in-excess-of-legal-speeds in competition than I am getting to the track on the NJ Turnpike - there are personal/vehicle as well as track safety protocols in place, and I can rest assured that the guy/gal in the next lane isn't going to have a spontaneous case of road rage and do something stupid; that said, over the years I've also cultivated the ability to toe-shift any good automatic transmission at any desired shift point - don't need paddle shifters...
