Yeah, It Was Me
Entrance to the park ...$15.00
Hotel room....$70.00
Setting a new speed record for that particular female officer...Priceless
This is not a chop. It is real and don't try this at home. It happened right out of the toll booth. She got me 2 miles later. I knew there was a reason that I needed to win the 50/50 drawing that I didn't win. It would have paid this fee. I still had a blast at Skyline.

Who took the pic? You or her? Play it cool and she may not show up to testify in court!
You do realize that this is a Federal Offense

She said "obviously your car can handle the speed". To which I replied "yeah, I was only in 2nd gear". She just shook her head. It is not a wreckless ticket and it is a federal but probably not on my record. Its a revenue thing. $130 plus $25 court cost. A lot better than it could have been. SHe was very forgiving if you know what I mean.

Bob, you got off easy on the fine for that speed. If it was on 211 at that speed and ticketed by a VA trooper it would have been reckless driving. Some of us are known to exceed even 77 on 211.
Don't ask me how I know.

I've been pushing my luck and think I personally need to tone it down. Someone else would agree with me.

Of course I will follow, just not lead.

The seat belt ticket from 4/18 in Texas which will cost $137 Plus this one is putting a crimp in my track time budget. Don't these folks realize I need tires and brakes to go to Putnam Park?
