Sheriff's Deputy Rick Miller works his way down a line of five of eight Corvettes he stopped on July 14 for speeding near Lake Crystal, Minnesota. The drivers were en route to the Black Hills Corvette Classic in South Dakota. Miller had clocked them on Highway 60 going 95 mph in a 65 mph zone.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time....Congrats to Officer miller for keeping the roads safe for us average citizens to enjoy :flag 95 MPH is excessive in a 65 MPH zone You can all go ahead and flame me but that was Rte60. Not Darlington, Daytona, or Talladega. Inappropriate speeds give all corvette owners a bad name, and if I am gonna have a bad rep, I wanna earn it on my own.
