Default xxxJohnBoyxxx nabbed Drag Racing 90mph

Got pulled over today for drag racing and 90mph in a 45 zone.

Funny thing is it wasn't me doing 90mph, I had spanked two Harleys for a short clip and slowed to the speed limit. Cop was real cool and asked me how fast I was going which I replied the speed limit 45 maybe 5mph over which was the truth when he hit the radar. He then stated I got 90 on my radar which I replied are you sure it was me and not those two Harleys that blew by me when you shot the instant-on Ka. He laughed and said I think it was the Harleys, so I asked why didn't you chase them down and he says I wanted to take a look at your car, my windows were down and I did hear your car involved in a race with those Harleys but when you came over the hill you seemed to be at normal speed, how did that happen (with a grin)? I said sir I must plead the 5th on that, he laughed again. He asked to sit in my car asked a bunch of questions about mods and said he loved the sound of it coming at him even though he couldn't see what it was until I came over the hill. Told me to keep it clean and I thanked him about 5 times and offered him lunch which he declined. I just got off probation 3 days ago and almost got in big trouble again. Yes I'm going up for lottery tickets today

***Please do not follow in my foot steps, you will not be as lucky and could kill someone doing illegial street racing***

Awesome man. Glad you didn't get in trouble. You should get lottery tickets because today is your lucky day. I am always thankful when a cop lets me go with a warning. I got pulled over by a sheriff when I was going 80mph but he let me go. Very nice guy.

Yeah John, you got lucky this time but you might not the next time. You've said it yourself before, keep the racing to the track...

it's hard to resist going fast sometimes, but you really have to control it on roads where there might be traffic and cops, I get all my "spirited" driving out of the way on back roads where I know there are rarely any cops

No cars on road during this and I was at posted speed (I think) before the motorcycles were clocked at 90mph. I left some things out!!! These Harley guys messed with me for 2 miles before Dale Mabry on-ramp and acted like they were going to pass me on the single lane on-ramp, driving on either of my rear quarter panels. As soon as I hit the 3 lane I dropped to second and dusted them hard until about 60mph then let off and coasted to 45 the speed limit. Both bikes flew by me at 90 at the top of the hill when the Sheriff hit radar.

Yes I can't control myself especially when people taunt me

what I would have done when they were on the quarter panels was slammed on the brakes if no one was behind you, I tend to do some stupid stuff when I'm being tailgated or something like that but I tend to use the brakes instead of the gas

Dave

I have an issue with too much Dopamine and the high I can get from stimulus (racing). I take 2 meds for it. One to wash Dopamine out of my system and the other so my body makes less of it. Maybe you will understand why I take the risk without thinking of the consequence by what I just wrote...

Damn, that's good to know. I drive in Mass a fair amount when I'm at school, had no idea it's that strict there

John, from what I get from your posts you're a speed JUNKY. You gotta hit the track soon to get it out of your system, or go out on your boat

Already purchased 1 scratch off and we lost. If I win the big one tonight I will share half with you. I'm not kidding forum threads can be subpoenaed for this promiss of half (after taxes of course). What would we do with the money?

I think we would both need a personal 1/4 mile drag strip to keep us out of trouble
