Not these days. Restrictor plates on superspeedways keep the speeds down in the 180-190's. Before restrictor plates, though, yes.

What kind of bullshit is that? A motorsport with restrictor plates?
(I know that truck raids also have them, but some dude flew over a dune at 150mph with a 2000bhp truck and literally broke the truck in half, killing himself in the process, so it makes sense. Also, it doesn't, there are better ways to restrict that)
Seriously, what's really the point of that. Rulings are one thing, but a speed limitation on a speed competition is absurd.
Akima:
Absurd? Maybe, but it's done all the time, even in Formula One. Sometimes for "safety", sometimes to make the racing more exciting for the spectators, sometimes to contain costs.
Method of Madness:
How does a maximum speed make things more exciting? Doesn't it make any sort of comeback impossible unless the driver in front messes up?
pwhodges:
Having a maximum speed on the straight isn't limiting the use of skill to achieve the maximum possible speed round bends or through chicanes.

Dale Earnhardt, Rodney Orr, Neil Bonnett, Tiny Lund and Joe Weatherly would say hi, but they're kinda dead.
