If I remember rightly, the only real issue with the EOG was although it was capable of 70mph, the brakes wernt adequate enough to stop them so went through pads like no tomorrow and often suffered from burning brakes. I believe the majority ,including preserved EOG200 later had the high speed diffs replaced with standard, so did just normal Olympian speeds.
