For fun, I looked up the 1980 Corvette specs. The 350CI/5.7L engine produced 230 HP. The referenced Jeep gets over 3X the HP of a 1980 street race car! Electrics are even better. It's like a gun enthusiast arguing he needs a 20mm cannon that fires 100 rounds/second as an upgrade for his semi-auto pistol, or maybe like the difference between a Cessna business jet and an F-15. They need to build a race track to educate and train these youngsters. The game has changed. NIL track might save lives and problems with law enforcement.
Yep. Not much you can do about teenagers with boat loads of money and fast cars. Your typical 6-cyl sedan today has way more power than muscle cars of the 70s and 80s. So even if they just buy a Honda or a Kia, it's likely got some serious power (the Kia Stinger has 360hp...). It's a maturity issue. We dealt with this in the Marines almost daily. Kids with their first job go out and buy Camaros and Mustangs and Hayabusa motorcycles then get in trouble. Some motorcycle dealers around military bases refuse to sell certain high-HP bikes to young servicemen because they were literally killing themselves on the road. The joke was that your typical junior enlisted person drives a nicer car than their Commanding Officer. Barracks parking lots look like new car dealerships.
This is not a UGA problem or a college athlete issue. It's a maturity issue. Education and penalties are about the only things you can do.

My mom got pulled over for going 65 in a 35 when she was 85 years old. In a Hyundai Tucson.😲
Now THAT'S a hot mama.....!
Is your mama from Pasadena!?
Pretty sure Commander Cody is.
Is she from Pasadena by any chance? 😉
No sir. She lived in Royston, GA. She also didn't get a ticket for going that fast. She knew the policeman's grandparents and asked him how they were doing. He let her go with a warning.
Great minds.......😎
👊
Any reference to "the hot rod lincoln" gets my upvote.
That's funny right there!
The joys of living in a small town.
A little league buddy of mine was from Hawaii. His grandmom lived with them. She thought the highways signs indicated the speed limits. There were no highways close to where we lived in Cali at that time. She was something else. Not sure if she ever got on 101.
Michelin owns Road Atlanta...so doubtful.
We could always field a road racing "team" and build a home course and let the lads loose there.
