There are civil engineering DESIGN CRITERIA involved with interstate highways that will allow for fast speeds.

Also as we all know there hasn't been any engineering studies done on lakes to allow the Go Fast Be Loud (GFBL) boats to go at full throttle like autos can on interstate highways.

So what do you say? Can I go ahead with the petition?

Rusty, take a boat at 50 MPH and then shut off the throttle. Notice how quickly the boat stops? With no brakes even!

We already have the data that shows no accidents at or above the current speed limits after literally decades of of being that way. Nothing like emperical data to squash pointless blather....
