That's why it's called "burying the needle". :D The needle in this case being a pink (red once upon a time) line below the horizon at the far right of the white arc. Normally about half of that arc is black. I think Jenn's truck liked it - ~86 mph felt just like 60, only with a little more wind noise. And people were still passing us too!
You'd have to go to Europe to see something like that, although once you're up into that sort of range, they usually just go for the gusto and put up one of these instead...
