I did say that. I stand by it. I have no regret for having done so. Here is where I did it. http://www.summitpoint-raceway.com/ I don't go to the track anymore, and my car hasn't traveled at such speed since.

I won't deny regularly exceeding the speed limit; 70-80 mph is normal for me on a highway and I would be lying if I said I'm not usually driving at around 5 to 10 mph over the limit on suburban and city streets. Neither will I say that I think racing someone in a place congested enough to have stoplights is a wise move. But, also, as I said before, I wasn't always as reserved as I am now. I wasn't judging the OP; I was trying to understand from where he is coming, which is why I asked questions rather than making accusations.

Having worked in the PRC for several years, I understand that culturally and linguistically, asking a question is an aggressive move. I don't when that characteristic became part of American culture, but apparently it has.
