2 bills is fairly undramatic... just stuff.... your the sausage in the can.... not much more...
Around 180 it gets fast and stays fast until around 240 when it becomes a new level of OMG fast... Keep in mind most of the 250mph and up stuff is Bonneville so it's 240+ mph for 5 Miles... or the last four miles go by at around 14 seconds a Mile.... Over a MINUTE at big Speed.... and the car is generally loose as a goose.... like riding down a pea gravel road or on Ice.... the nose of the car fights the wind and is always floating a bit....
You don't drive as much as you "Coral" the junk towards the centerline...
Fun stuff really.... heading out towards a place called Floating Mountain... I wrote something a while back it's on my box somewhere.... I'll dig it up...

Thanks, I have a fellow Ii went to High School with who drove Formula cars and he spoke about "tunnel vision" coming on over 180 mph since your brain cannot process peripheral data fast enough.
I used to go to drag races in the 1960's and I remember you could see who won. I took my kid to the Nationals at Raceway Park in Old Bridge NJ about 10 years ago. I was amazed at the speeds. I saw Kenny Bernstein break a record, at 300 +. His car was there and then it wasn't.
We wandered the pits and ran into Kenny and I asked him the same question, he said you feel it you have no time to think. I ran into a fellow that broke a record on a fuel bike. He said the same thing. He also told me he never rode on the Street because it was two dangerous.
I have gone about 200 practically on the ground, but while exciting, I don't think it was close to what you experience. Then again you were tested, and trained to be the best, so you are well suited for this. Keep the left skid down.
