Yeah, sorry, 175mph on the freeway is not something I'm okay with. For other cars on the road going 65mph that's a relative speed of 110mph. I'd like to see them in jail.
That's also 175mph driven by a person who as a professional wouldn't legally be allowed to drive that long in many places (even if they're swapping, that's 12.7h of driving each). It's not a good state to be driving even at normal speeds.

Given the drivers publish their names and various proofs... why aren't more of them arrested?
Is there really no cooperation in enforcement at interstate level? I thought the police cars stopping at the state line was an 80s movie trope.
Also, the way I understand the statute of limitations in the US is that the time limit only applies to getting the charged filed. If the person is known (like in this case) they could be charged right now.
Each state is its own sovereign, state officials in one state is not recognized as such in another state (it doesn't mean they can't work together, they can be deputized or whatever the state laws say about another state officials, it just means by default, they can't be involved in another state's affairs and if they do, they'd be breaking the laws themselves even with good intentions).
Only the federal government can be involved in the interstate affairs but the constitution itself does not allow the federal government to be involved in police matters, only the states.
In addition, if someone breaks the law and cross the state line, the federal agencies can only be involved if the crime was being committed at the federal level. If no federal law exists, then there's nothing they can do.
Attentiveness and preparation increase safety dramatically. These guys are not driving full out in the middle of traffic.
What's more interesting is that the owner of the Audi previously had an S63 and while helping others on another run, his car was rear-ended by a semi-truck while parked on the shoulder. The driver of the truck was falling asleep due to truck driving regulations being lifted because of covid.
Safe to say that safety isn't that simple. Those trucking rule changes created more damage than the entire Cannonball history.
