I'm not familiar with the rulebook, but I can only guess that rulebook page 1, rule #1 goes something like this:

"Must have more money than sense"

I've never been accused of being sensible but nonetheless, my money to sense ratio is a little upside down at the moment. Brock Yates conceived this event at a time when newly constructed highways were under-utilized--that means empty roads. I'm sure uncle Brock would be the first to admit that duplicating the race on today's congested highways constitutes vehicular manslaughter.

I'll admit: Just yesterday I hit triple digit speeds in a 55mph zone on an empty, divided 4 lane highway, but I ran the car up to speed and then immediately slowed. The thought of sustained high speed banzai runs in conjested areas makes me cringe. Maybe that makes me a hypocrite, but I see a difference.
