Did you try stopping quickly? 400 feet in a well maintained car/pickup at 80 mph. Truck with camper...550? Add a small trailer...650?

65 mxa for me. It's a vacation, not the Indy 500.
All gets back to the 'me too' attitude. Have to be first no matter what. Myself, I prefer to be bringing up the rear and get there safely and in one piece. So does my wife and our dog.
