Active Track Question

Hey guys, I've used active track successfully on a couple of occasions to record slowly moving objects. Yesterday I drove about 1.5 miles from my home to record some footage of a house that had been involved in a bad fire. After getting the footage I wanted, I decided it would be fun to have the Mavic follow me home. I turned on Active Track, highlight my car, and turned on "Trace". The "Speed Priority" slider was set to 33.6 MPH. The Mavic would track me as expected, but it wouldn't go more than about 8 MPH. So even driving 15-20 MPH I was just driving away from it. I'd manually try to fly it forward, and in Active Track mode it just wouldn't get above 8-9 MPH. As soon as I put it back in normal mode it would get up in the low 20's again so I know it wasn't a wind issue.

Anyone have any ideas what I was doing wrong?
