Yeah, exactly the type of person that shouldn't be driving on public roads.
Do you realize how fast traffic starts pulling up to your face when you're going 140 mph?
Same as driving past stopped cars at 90MPH.
What if there's an object in the road that punctures your tire? Or you hit a decently sized pothole or rock and it destabilizes your car to the point where you're now in oncoming traffic?
There's so many more variables than just the sun at your back or "clear roads".
Tracks cost money b/c they have a high amount of maintenance for the pavement and the angles of the roads. There's also minimal bumps causing instability to your vehicle at those speeds, which isn't true of normal highway roads.
But whatever, I'm on my high horse I guess.
