Wyoming had the highest percentage of votes for Trump in the entire country with 72.3% of the voters there going for DJT.  Highest regards to you up there from the Lone Star State. Throw in that Weatherby rifles are born there and we have a bona fide awesome state, Gentlemen. Way to go Wyoming!
Come and take it.

Is the speed limit there still Wide Open?

Nope, Montana was the last. Max speeds are 80 mph on interstates and 70 mph on two lanes. Most H P officers give a 4 to 5 mph leeway before stopping a driver except on then interstates. There it is usually 3 mph.

And yes, I think it an awesome state.

We have 75MPH here in Texas with some 80MPH, but the 80 zones are only way out in wide open spaces.
Come and take it.

I-25 south of Buffalo is also 80.

I drive through Wyoming about 4 or 5 times a year, but at least 3 of them are in the winter.  I think the starting place of wind is somewhere in Wyoming, and wind and snow don't mix, so even with not so major snowstorms, Wyoming just closes parts of the 3 Interstate roads there.

I10 has some 80mph postings east and west of Junction.

The fastest part of Texas,I know of, is state hwy 84 between Rosco,Tx on I20 and Lubbock with a little speed bump at Post,Tx.

A friend of mine had spectacular seats at Jones stadium at Texas Tech in Lubbock and he would give them to me several times a year,because he mainly used a luxury suite that was owned  by one of his friends from college.I could put my Navigator on cruise control at 110mph and run it that way from Roscoe to Lubbock,only slowing down at Post, and you may not believe it,but would get passed by 50 to 60 cars going faster than that every trip.Sometimes 4 to 10 car groups. On those Saturday mornings all law enforcement for miles went to the games for traffic and make a showing at the games.Saw some wrecks sometimes where the cars would go out into the cotton fields a couple hundred yards before they came to a stop.
