I got a speeding ticket after a day of swapping ends at our AX. 68 in a 55. That sucks. Flow of traffic is pretty much 70 on that freeway, even when the limit goes down - not that I knew it did.

This was not near the event. Had Noah930 not switched places with me a little before that, he would have been nailed. I was leading most of the way home.

We have a cop in the PCA, and one of our other regulars is a cop too...


Is alarick going to pay part of the ticket? It was his fault...

Morning Rick. Naw, I just like throwing money out the window and having to be extra careful for the next 16 months.

Yeah last year I got nailed twice. I was lucky, Hagerty didn't pull my driving record for the year or they would have dropped the coverage on Lanna. I got nailed for 22 over and 18 over. The 85 over they never caught me.

1500 bucks is cheap? Then I guess I made a good deal. (center caps are missing though)


Rick, you're early and good morning!

I've noticed this happens every time. Then you get to study for a brief second, where you just came from and what you just did wrong.

Last time I had Lanna out for an autoX I had RA1's on the back and ES100's up front. That is a good way to NEVER have the back end come around. It is also a very good way to NEVER turn.
