Even further back than that; it is in the 1979 book.
"1.3.1 Courses must be tight enough so that cars run the entire
course in their lower gears. Speeds on straight stretches
should not normally exceed 70 miles per hour, and the fastest
portions of the course shall be those most remote from
spectators and property. Turns should not normally allow
speeds in excess of 45 mph in unprepared cars"
(pp. 35-36 "1979 Solo I & II Rules")
The drop in top allowed speed on the straights is also interesting.
