At twice the normal speed limits, other drivers are far more of an issue. This is not Germany and they are not expecting nor experienced with other cars that could have 100MPH closure speeds, while they are running at the speed limit. Their reactions are set for our normal speeds. Driving far in excess of those speeds opens you up to their miscalculations.

I was lucky enough to be able to do some closed highway runs in my SLP Firehawk. Things happen very fast at speeds in excess of 150MPH. Even during true track days, I never approached 150MPH in any of my other cars.
