You think its overly intrusive.
But you have the choice to buy a Volvo or not, don't you?
Just like you have a choice to buy a car that can't even reach 112mph.
When it comes to the legal issues, the law regarding speed limits on the open road doesn't reach to racetracks, so there will never be a system that prohibits you to race on racetracks. Your worries are in vain.
Just like the emissions in california now. Lots of technical mods are not allowed on the open road, but are allowed on racetracks.
This is similar.
Are you incapable of acknowledging the speed restriction isn't intended to be only a top speed limiter? You keep pointing to the top speed limit like it excuses all the other speed limiting. Would you support a vehicle manufacturer limiting your vehicle's speed to the posted speed limit?

Where does this confidence come from where you steadfastly envision vehicles remaining unlimited on racetracks?

This whole thread reminds me of the famous poem about the incrementalism of tyranny by Martin Niemöller...

Quote:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
