Sorry to hear about those tickets, guys. After I got my tire fixed, the gf and I went on a little drive by ourselves and noticed that there were a ton of cops out, and also lots of slow traffic. Did you guys get stuck behind a lot of slow traffic? I'm thinking the weekend before the 4th of July weekend was better for a drive, I'm really glad I did the Windy Ridge run last week! Still wish I could have been there.

It's more likely he was using a speed computer (no radio emissions what so ever) and didn't feel like explaining what that was. It's basically a complicated odemeter+stopwatch device they are starting to use more often.

Sorry to here about the tickets

That would make more sense. Anything I can do to protect myself from that system? Shield the ecu in lead maybe?

The only defense against speed computers is invisibility.
