freebeard's talking about FPV. If nothing else that could help you in the accel/braking zones to make your usable distance longer.
You could even have a co pilot using FPV to get up to say 100mph, then the car passed into your view you take over, and after the finish you hand it back over to your FPV co-pilot.
I don't think I'd be trying for 200 with such a basic TX though. As much as I favor a solid mechanical set up before resorting to electronics, being able to set things like steering sensitivity as speed rises definitely helps. I think I'd want to run something like a DX4C with AVC, or possibly re purpose an aircraft auto pilot for surface use. One crash saved is the radio paid for.
