    That speed and Talladega go hand ni hand.. the banks are the steepest of any track @ 33 degrees.
    That's 5 stories tall to get to the top.

    Back in 1970, Buddy Baker broke the 200 mph barrier at Talladega, driving a 1969 Dodge SuperBird.
    That Bird could fly

    194.08 mph is fastest so far in qualifying today, with these new restrictor plate sizes

    Maybe Nascar Officials will get around to telling Drivers and Owners that Their Cars will have to have "Governors" on Them in a year or two...!

    "Today, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz limit their production cars to 250 kilometres per hour (155 mph). Certain Quattro GmbH and AMG cars, and the Mercedes/McLaren SLR is an exception. The BMW Rolls-Royces are limited to 240 kilometres per hour (149 mph). Jaguars, although British, also have a limiter, as do the Swedish Saab and Volvo on cars where it is necessary."...!

    "Governors" won't really work in a racing application.
    They as designed to take control of an engine and how it performs. That would not bode well with a race driver
    The restrictor plates do nothing to the driver's control over the engine, they just restrict the amount of air flow, which in turn reduces horse power.

    One nice thing (only nice thing) with these wrecks in our present day is that we always see the driver walk away

    You think you'd sprain something at the very least with rolls like that. The car's braces and harnesses have to be incredibly good.
