Usually a shimmy at a particular speed like that is tire and wheel out of 
balance as others have said.  I have even had a shimmy around that speed after 
a wheel balance and since I had a long trip to take and not much time, I took 
it back and ask them to rebalance.  Turns out they had been a little hasty on 
the first balance and after the second balance the shimmy was gone for good.
