Sorry I couldn't make it...the Silver Bullet was more damaged than I thought. My agent isn't going to buy my story but hope everyone had a good time.

Well, it did not go as well as planned....
Just as you and your buddies were worried about, We (couple friends, one with an 11' Roush Stang and one with a 12' ZX10R) got an early start on our road rally (about a 1/2 hour before sunrise), On the way back down the hill, I got nabbed for doing 124 in a 65. I was leading the way with help from my V1. However he got me with Laser!! My buddies are fine, they just made an example out of me. Truck was impounded and I got a free ride home in the DPS cruiser. To make matters worse, when the truck was fired up to go on the flatbed, there was a ticking / knocking from the engine. I must have overheated and ran the RPM's too high for too long. I did not even notice it during the run due to my B&B exhaust.
I sould have paid more attention to my oil temp gauge than my A/F guage:dontknow:
So, we did not make breakfast stop and I am bummed we were not able to hook up with Skypilot68 and have those Margarita's
I will find out today sometime what will pan out with getting the truck back
BTW, I did not make the Pav's due to the fact that I had a few afternoon beers from my kegerator after a long day of house maintenance. I just will not drink and drive any of my toys. Maybe there will be some other time I will get to meet some of you members.
Later Guys.....
More than I care to discuss.I am sorry to hear about that! Hopefully the ticking noise is nothing major and how much does a 124 in a 65 ticket go for these days?
Its no worse than the damage from your airdrop.Few years back a co-worker was caught doing 129 in a 65...cost him a trip to jail, a $1,000 fine plus a suspended license.
Definitely sounds like not a good day in the desert...
The drives ard always alot of fun. Some members warned though.... so it is what it is.Damn that sux! Sorry to hear about that
Sounded like a great time till the LEO. Think he heard about y'all's drive?
How come you didnt keep going..me and my buddy with a challenger RT havr flown past cops going 130+ they alway turn their light on and pull out but going 130 u can open up a preety huge gap in just a couple seconds. Get off at the next exit and pull into a restraunt and go inside. Saved my ass a couple timesWell, it did not go as well as planned....
