It appears to be on a closed street. The police are holding back all of the normal traffic.

I haven't been over 200 - yet. But the new build was built with just that in mind, to run it over 200 and leave it there for a bit. 3 minutes flat-out was the design goal. Now, where did I put those toys...

Vids like the Balducci one are why they won't allow the free rein on the Toy run anymore. Power to you if you want to run like that with no traffic, but weaving in and out of other cars at 175 is nuts. Especially with damp roads. Lucky you survived that one.
