no little convertable roll bar or helmet will save you when your car blows a tire at 200mph. contribute some funds to have a pro driver on this forum here with experience to take you in his 996tt 700hp and teach you the things you need to know above 150mph. Then, in his caged car with his supervision on a non-public road you can enjoy the max speeds...

I've heard of a place in San Jose but have not been..... the San Mateo can be a decent place depending on time.

Where is your spot?

In SoCal there is a road that this lady who lived alone and was wealthy had done as a driveway to her house. She died long ago and the house was abandoned. The road remains and it is long. I just can't remember where it is.

You've got it flash68, San Mateo bridge is the longest straight I know. The bridge is 7 miles long with a straight that is 5 miles long. When there is no car in front of you, you have the 3 lanes, one way straight all by yourself (actually, I was racing a MB, but no other cars around).

But be careful... once in a while there is a Hwy Patrol sitting there in that little turnout cubby hole area heading eastbound....

It's pretty much the coolest thing I've ever done. At least that's what my pregnant wife always says.
