Now with an actual car that has to be broken in, it would take almost two hours (driving, not trailering) to get to the nearest track (Mid-Ohio) from Toledo, which is all flat. How do you break it in on highways without traffic interference. I try to do pulls under load up to a certain speed, then slow way down and do it again for a bunch of runs, but in traffic, that would not be practical.
Does anyone have a good way to do this effectively in public?

You could try and do your method at 3 oclock in the morning when there is minimal traffic
