Not everyone has access to a track. In my case I make high speed runs on Sunday mornings early, say 6 to 7 am on an open highway, very little if any traffic and I never pass anyone over 100 MPH. You never know what some people will do. Out here in PA there are lots of highways in the middle of nowhere, totaly open on sunday morning. The major concern here is not traffic at this time but deer.
Heres how I do this: Find a highway like I mantioned above.
Drive down one side checking the other side for obstacles and cops.
Turn around (ramp or emergency crossover )
Make your run.
Cobaltss313 knows what I'm talking about, don't you dude?
This is as safe as it gets on a public highway.
Be safe and whatch out for the other guy, good luck.
