When I raced Pro ET Mazda back in the '80s, I would be doing 111 mph or so at the stripe, and have the occasional Super Comp type car come past me at 160 mph.

I'm not uncomfortable with speed- I've been over 200 mph on my Hayabusa Superbike. But it is the speed DIFFERENTIAL that is an issue. A 170 mph car FS/AA car ***-packing an 80 mph EF/S car in the lights, would be the same amount of energy as a car driving 90 mph into the back of a parked car.
