A good part of that is because most of the Maxton crowd also runs at Bonneville (driving on salt = driving on ice) - and most people have no budget to build a 2nd car for pavement LSR. (Although with the semi-recent addition of a runway in Texas, maybe that will change)
There was alot of discussion on the LSR mailing list a few years ago how fast a purpose-built for Maxton streamliner or lakester might go.
