Three years running I have flown my Legacy over Ripon
at 135kts and 2300 feet per the NOTAM then at Fisk
told to slow it down and get down to 1800 feet, stay
in trail, no passing or flying side by side.  It just
doesn't work.  I have tried to comply with the
instructions of the controllers.  One time I was
behind a Cessna 140 with his flaps down and another
over running a piper cub.  Only one time did I not
have a problem because there weren't any airplanes in
front of me.

After my first year flying the Legacy to Oshkosh I
contacted EAA.  They gave me the phone number of an
individual who works each year with the FAA in
developing the arrivals for the next years event. 
After explaining my problem, I was told, "that should
not be happening."  He convinced me to try it again
next year, but guess what, it was a repeat.  The only
answer for me is to arrive before the event begins so
I can call the tower and make a normal approach.  

If you had to take evasive action at 90 kts, the
outcome probably will not be pleasant.
