You can also do open-road racing. Many (esp. west coast) come to the open road rally (race for some) events that are run here in Nevada. They close down long stretches of roads to the public and do high-speed events, most are time/distance rallys. I have never done one, but it sounds interesting. We definately have lots of roads here in NV that are good for this sort of thing!
If anyone is interested, the organizers have a website...

For thoughs of you that said the car dances at above 130mph when i was going 160 i was extremly stable and my car has no wing no aerokit no extra downforce things and i had winter tires on it at the time. the road i went that fast on was higgens here in shaumburg IL on the way to woodfield mall. everytime i get on that road the slowest i go is 100mph unless theres traffic the i go 90

Late for my wedding, I hit 140 on the Bruckner Expressway! Top speed I have reached was in Canada, on the acess road to one of the airports in Montreal. It was Sunday morning at about 9 am. The airport must close on weekends, as there was no one there and no planes at the gates. Anyway, two lanes, no turnoffs and no place to hide. hit 168 Remember, as I was pissed I didn't hit 170. Oh, then a cop pulled on the highway, now the only other car on the road and I was back to the speed limit.
