I also stated that we were in a 65 MPH zone when he lit me up pointed out in the pic. I was "paced" at 70MPH, he wrote me for 68MPH in a 55 zone, which I contended was actually a 65 zone. Either way, I was above the limit and beat the ticket.

Ironically, we were coming back from an autocross.

You didn't necessarily "Beat" the ticket. If you did a TBWD, you don't know if the cop responded to it....If the officer didn't respond, you could have simply written "I wasn't speeding" and you would have "beaten" the ticket.
