Ok So who did 150MPH+ with me last night?
I was on the 90W heading home from downtown Chicago. I raced a grey CL55. He took off and i chased up to 150MPH. I realized that i had 1 bent rim in the front and decided to back off before the tire blew. A 150MPH blowout would not have been pretty.

i was in a black CL600 with a Renntech badge.
