"Fast" to me generally means "uncomfortable" and "pure concentration." Near The Dragon a few weeks ago there was a 16-mile, perfectly smooth, long sweeping road called the Foothills Parkway. It's a 45mph zone, but our line of cars drove it between 70 & 100 mph the entire way. The conditions were perfect, all the cars were sports cars, tires were heated up, everything was great, but it was also a bit uncomfortable because it required a lot of trust in the tires to maintain their grip. So to me, that was fast, yet 100mph on the interstate on a clear day is many times accidental, and not fast at all.
Foothills parkway and Cherohala skyway are pretty cool to run around 100mph . Can't do that on the Dragon lol 😆
