Poppe for speeding of course. He said he got us at 98mph. I say he got us braking.

Seriously though the roads are dam smooth not sure how you can not speed. We were going very fast before he stopped us, not sure the term but instant on or something? V1 came on strong out of no where and he was coming towards us. After he gave us our due the radar (ka) was coming on and off so pretty much no warning.

Wow, just drove 1000 miles. Finally got tired and checked into a hotel in Fort Stockton.

Few hours ago managed to get pulled over twice within 10 minutes.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the show later today.

The hotel is cool, Shell station for drinks and 2 places to eat within walking distance. We're in room 417 if anyone wants to ding dong ditch or order a pizza to the room. Pepperoni please.
