Does anybody know where you can go to drive fast without getting a ticket. Specifically Central Florida is where I am looking
Any options?

Certain stretches of road where no police frequent?

Rent track? How much does that cost? What tracks in Central FL offer this?

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if that is true cause I drove through two different parts of Montana on two different occasions and the speed limit was either 70 or 75 depending on the area. But I've only been in the western parts of the state.

I'm hoping that some MT or surrounding states residents, will chime in.

I believe that exceeding the MT 70-75 posted speed results in a small "energy fine" and not an actual traffic infraction that shows on your driving record.
 
Keep it on the track guys. I've seen too many idiots cause some life ending/altering events. It *&$#)@ me off to no end when people street race of any sort. It gives the people like myself and other respectful car guys a bad name. And if you can't afford the track time, save up till you can. It's safer and lot more fun.
 
If your looking for a Autobahn style road you wont find it in the US .... anymore. Back in the mid 80s early 90s I THINK, there was a 14 mile stretch of road that only had a minimum speed limit.
 
Best bet is your local dragstrip. There you can go as fast as you want and don't have to worry about a ticket! A few years back my friend got busted street racing against my car (a friend of mine was driving, I was drinking). State police "clocked" us at 125 in the 65. He lost his license for a year.

If handling is what you are after try to see if there are any local autox events near you.

Don't get the wrong impression of me though. I am not trying to tell you what to do and I am not going to yell at you for speeding on roads (some forums I am a member of will) . I still do it. It's a good feeling to hit a back road late at night and open it up a little. Just trying to open up some options for you that are legal.

I appreciate it! You're right on- I am not looking to go drive crazy on open public roads or race against anybody. I would just like to be able to occasionally "open it up a little" as you said when no one is around or If I could get on a track. I appreciate the info. I certainly don't want to lose my license (or get a ticket). Looks like I will call some of these central florida tracks and see whats up.
Thanks to all!
 
The last time I drove in Montana, they still had their "prima facie" speed limit in effect. Daytime speed limits were unlimited.
I, and the majority of vehicles, were running at 85mph. My guess is that pressure from the Feds and the insurance companies forced Montana to set a speed limit.
Several years ago on my way to Alaska, I drove in northern British Columbia. I set the cruise control on my motorcycle at 110mph, and slowed as I approached towns/villages. Neither I, or any other members of our group, received "speed certification" papers from the RCMP. We simply used our brains--ride fast in the open areas, and reduce speed as we neared population centers.
High speed Driving in both MT & BC was fun and safe--I'm actually more focused at 85 (or higher speeds) than I am at 60-70.

Don't street race in L.A. or Sacramento, Ca. Not only will you get to spend the night in jail, they can take your car and force you to watch it be crushed.
 
How close are you from Moroso ?? Speeding on streets is dangerous for everyone so I dont condone it ....

Too far north but I am going to call 2 tracks up here. Apparently there is one that recently opened in Orlando and of course a couple up here in Volusia county.

Thank you
 
with your car, you should definately take it up north to the Dragon in the carolinas.

That's a great idea! It's the perfect car for all those curves and that beautiful area! We went through there on our vacation last year in pidgeon forge. (In a rental) Smoky's great place for vaction btw!
 
bradentonmotorsports.com if you are near there. Second option is finding where all the farm land is and going there for some WOT blast. Safest public option there is.

Me too, after getting a Criminal Traffic Citation in AZ I started driving the speed limit - the next week I fell asleep driving and totaled my dad's old BMW he was trying to sell - so while the insurance company "bought it", my driving record is really hurting these days.
 
State Rd 27 in FL was generally where people would run without much worry of cops or traffic since its middle of no where straight shot north and south, except for rush hour times. This is also where majority of the bike speed videos are as guys with turbo busa's etc would run out there. But now they've gotten strict and there are cops. We have a place in lake placid on lake june, about 2 hours or so from me, once made a run up there and got there in less then an hour lol, think I saw 3 or 4 cars whole time, just got lucky with no traffic.

I wouldn't try that now, FHP, cops, helicopters, planes etc.

Sebring and PBIR are best bets (Palm Beach International Raceway)
 
You were all born in the wrong era.

While I was growing up there was NO speed limit in Nevada. Of course outside of Vegas and Reno there were no people either. I remember driving along with my Dad and I could not keep up with his 58 Vette. I was driving a 57 Caddy vert. And it would do 115 all day long. At least after an electric fuel pump was installed at the tank to prevent vapor lock. Anyone old enough to remember vapor lock?

Now if you try to have any fun on a totally deserted road through the wasteland some Cop airplane will get you.
