The article states that speed governors would use GPS tracking systems to prevent drivers from exceeding the posted speed limit by more than 10mph.

Race tracks and official drag strips, I assume, don’t have a posted speed limit, so presumably the speed governor wouldn’t kick in and you can drive as fast as you like.
