The article I read said it was Paul Walkers new car and the police still have not released or even know who was driving. The article did say there were burn marks in the shape of a figure eight all over the road and the police stated that speed was an issue.

Hey Dan, yes, I have been to the Corvettes and Caffeine get togethers a few times on those early Saturday mornings. Always a good time. I met the guys from Payson too. Not sure how they are getting away with having that radar jamming device but it is pretty cool. Let me know if you find a good place to really put the hammer down. Other than that I'm doing better at keeping the speed reasonable. Perhaps I will see you at the December meeting. Jack

Reckless driving ? Would you like the name and badge number of the DPS officer so you can tell him how he failed to do his job and jeopardized public safety for not citing me accordingly.

W/ all due respect to everyone, including LEOs (two formerly in my family, and one of best friends), "reckless" driving is an ACT and SPEED is not in and of itself "reckless" in ALL situations, according to yours truly
!For example: The Silver State Classic Challenge is conducted on public roads at speeds exceeding 3 digits - which is far above the posted limit for normal traffic. So does that mean all of the participants are guilty of "reckless" driving???
It depends on the situation!!! I take issue with traffic laws that are arbitrary*e.g., Xmph over the limit = "reckless"...or whatever, AND with those those here that whimsically pass judgement as to what is or is not not safe ("reckless") on a public highway, in their opinion.
That said, "it is what it is". And so, if you "color outside the lines", you're on your own: one shouldn't whine about it if they get caught.
We need more tracks and speed events (like the Silver State event).
See ya there!*www.thefreedictionary.com/arbitrary
