      It makes me think of my stupid idea that would never work that I thought of when I first discovered rallies like that. The whole point of the rally is to get from point A to point B as fast as possible with as few tickets/arrests as possible right? So what would happen if you just took a reliable, bone stock sedan or something like that. Average about 100mph, and if the cops catch wind of the rally, you'll theoretically slide right by as the cops focus their attention on the supercars around you.

      An extended fuel tank and a suspension that would handle the weight probably would've done it. I like his style; just keep going and don't look back. That strategy was only really viable during the early days of COVID thanks to the low traffic, otherwise you're eventually going to get stuck and the cops are gonna catch up. As for the "can't outrun the radio" thing... think about how fast you clear through a state when you're going that fast. Even a helicopter or one of those little Cessna 172s they fly for aerial speed enforcement can't keep up with a car going 160+

      They are still dicks, but it's usually the guy on the right being a dick more, and not just tapping his brakes a couple seconds to let the other truck pass. Most company owned trucks have limiters and/or automatic reporting so the drivers can't go above a set limit. You get two limited trucks with speedos that are quarter a mile per hour out of sync, and you end up with a pair of trucks taking days to pass.
      All that aside, why is it even an issue for someone that is happy to go 80-100 MPH over the limit? Just pass the truck on the shoulder and be done with it if you obviously don't care about a reckless driving ticket.

    The Quik trip where he pulled over is used by law enforcement in that town as a staging area when waiting for calls and for breaks. It is centrally located between two major highways and in the middle of the city, so this guy drove right to them! Always at least 2 Sheriff or police there, also it's one of the only gas stations open super late.
    He also says the city is poor, but the city he stopped in has more millionaires per capita than KC or STL, because of the disproportionate number of hospitals and universities for the size. I'm only mentioning this to show people there recognize an R8, it's not a little farm town. They also have a large and active local car club. :)
    In short, if he took a left when he got off the highway or literally went anywhere else he wouldn't have had any trouble.

By then I was done with my run and had a nice cruise to my uncle's home._* *I've only been pulled over once for speeding in my lifetime and that was on my Suzuki GSX-R 1000 when visiting my brother in San Diego. I was almost there from Torrance, CA where I live. I was doing 150mph and the Fwy was dead not one single car or motorcycle on those highways and new overpasses. That might explain how I was easy to spot. The cop was cool and only gave me a ticket for doing about 15 mph over the speed limit instead of taking me to jail.*

      I drove (or rode my motorcycle) to Phoenix once a month from LA. For years.
      There's cops everywhere. You got lucky. The shortest time it took me was 4 hours, from Pasadena. Was really hauling the mail, but you can only go so fast up to Chiriaco Summit when there's lots of semi trucks.
      Wouldn't do it again in that same lil old Benz. Terrible headlights.

    The guy at sunset bluffs is the realest guy in this story and I do not want that to be forgotten... for someone to do something like that at that time of night.
    You can nearly pay for a service like that in a respectable time.. would definitely consider them if I was ever to get hitched.

    "I'll do this without any prep."

    "I already smoke lots of cigars; I'll smoke more."
    "I'll talk on the phone while I'm going 160."
    Then I saw the license plate and it all made sense.
