High altitude, high temperatures, and low humidity equal thin air. (That is why several hour record attempts have been made in Mexico city.) Hit the right weather conditions on the five mile Sierra downhills and it is all fun and games. Well, until you hit a pebble at 55.
Yup. I've hit the speed limit many times on Brockway. Of course, you'll still get some jackwagon in a Suburban trying to pass you.
