I went to a top speed event on our runway at the NATO airbase I used to be assigned to in Germany. The runway was quite old, but a runway nonetheless. Anything over 110 was scarier than shit. Even the autobahn felt much safer.

Salt flats and the like have the advantage in that erosion leaves you with a very smooth surface, asphalt will need a few millenium before it gets there.

"What a curiosity our new political correctness has made of our public spaces. Let your sex tape loose on the Internet and be rewarded with your own TV show;
photograph a crucifix in a jar of urine and our museums will vie to exhibit it; occupy someone else’s property and you will be hailed by the president for your keen social conscience.
But call people who blow up, behead, and mutilate, “savage” — and polite society will find you offensive."
--Jared Silverman

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
--Winston Churchill

"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."
--Benjamin Franklin

"Government is not reason. It is not eloquent. It is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
"The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury."
--George Washington
