Depends heavily on the car: https://youtu.be/pXP3Eij2GGA (same driver as your video)

Anyway, this was around Portland International Raceway and your car has to be pretty dang slow to not break 100 MPH on both the front straight and the back straight there.

Sub 1:30 on Laguna Seca? That's pretty darn good.

That's true. By "rarely", I mean maybe three or so of the straights. Although I guess that's a very poor definition of "rarely"...
