Luckily Max is able to avoid a collision, but he has now realized he's in the wrong city, the next Formula 1 Grand Prix is in Italy! He needs to make the turn off of I-95 onto SR-112 to get to the airport, and wants to do so at the maximum speed possible. Because it's in an urban area the ramp from I-95 to SR-112 has a superelevation rate of 0.08, the curve has a generous radius of 450 feet. With the Formula 1 car's aerodynamic components it's able to have a much higher coefficient of sid friction of 1.4 if going between 60 and 120mph and 1.8 if going 120 to 180mph. What is the maximum speed (to the nearest mph) that Max could drive on the curve?
