Well first of all, are you sure that wasn't a cop flashing those lights? 
Second -- to really make this little experiment fair, you guys should have swapped cars and done another run -- not that I'm condoning any public street racing...
You really don't know how hard the other guy was trying, etc.

Unless I m missing something, I think Penetta's last post was a joke.

I don't know how I missed that last line -- I think I've had way too much coffee this morning!
From the looks of it -- either the others fell for it too or pennetta added that last line after we posted our replies...
Come on pennetta, let's hear the truth -- was the last line added after or are we all just needing to slow down a bit?

And may I ask where you've been robg?
Well, I have a new car. Much more fun actually driving than talking about driving. With all the recent rain in the NE lately, I have spent allot of time washing and drying. And one of my other obsessions, Bruce Springsteen, has reentered the picture. he is on tour in the NE and I have been trying to get to as many concerts as I can. Many think this will be his last tour with the ESB.

We met today at 9am but there was a Cop on the side of the road. 
Traffic was too heavy as well. We planned a return today at 2pm but the other guy could not get there. We are approaching rush again so we decided to pick a Saturday within the next few weeks.
Sorry guys...

We all think you're lying now. There is no race. Come on admit it. You've had 20 days to find an empty stretch of road that you can both be at, at the same time, for about 60 seconds.
