    I will just say this, 1. xheavys born everyday. 2. anyone that has really been over 100 mph in a class 8 vehicle will tell it way different than that! You can tell that kid has not.

    I think it was some place on 80 in Nevada where I did Georgia overdrive and let it roll. I have no clue how fast, but once it started shaking,terror set in and sent some nice steer blowout scenarios through my mind . I'm not against visiting the 100 mph club under power, but never something like that again.

    At 16 years old I went to work for a pizza outfit called Mazzios. I worked there 5 years, ate off the menu nearly every meal (cuz it was cheap or free), and never got tired of it.

    Still love pizza. Thick crust, thin crust, doesn’t matter to me. Frozen pizza is cool too. Some of it is better than what you can buy in town.

    Leaving a truck out of this, I will tell you for me 154mph on a hot rod CBR954RR is when my boy parts turned into girl parts. Bike had alot more. I didn't, nor did the road. We all know are limits and should obey them. I'm not ashamed. Some guys on here probably have been way faster. But that was it for me.

    You are correct in your story, most will not claim 100 plus in a class 8 as such a routine event.

    Just for fun I used the Spicer trans ratio RPM calculator to see what speed I could get to in my truck. Using 2000 as max RPM, speed would be 89.25, with a .62 OD 105.09 IF the truck could pull that RPM with that OD. Remember drag goes up by the square of speed.
