This just in.........................
I just spoke to Budman. He is just east of Oklahoma City, OK sans Robin. Robin is flying back to NJ. Budman is heading east on I44 near a town called Bristow.
I read him a few of the posts, both for and against his actions and he asked me to respond on his behalf (paraphrasing of course).............
The choice to do what he did was a spur of the moment thing that was not thought out at all and ultimately, was pretty stupid. After being face down on the pavement with a big gun in his back, subsequently handcuffed and then having a chance to reflect on the evenets while spending 8 hours in the jail cell, he can't believe he actually did this. He wholeheartedly agrees it was stupid, can't believe he actually did it and would certainly never do it again.
He has 4 kids and wouldn't risk them and wouldn't appreciate anyone else placing them at risk in a similar situation. So I guess remorse is the operative word.
That's it from the Budman, as reported live by KPV.

Exactly what I thought! Now, how did I know it was a stupid snap decision ... I might have done the same thing! I hope not though.
Now I will laugh about it. Buddy you are a ridiculous crazy man. What the hell were you thinking? I can just see it, **** cherries, quick thought ... hmm, I think I can get away, robin, you in? if so, press the accelerator. OK, now rip by 150 you start to think, as you also start to focus at that speed, am I really doing the right thing, but by then it’s pretty late so you think how can I get out of this, while still accelerating. Oh man, what a pickle!
Budman, when I get out on the track with you I am definitely letting you go out first. I want to keep an eye on you.

But Budman I hope that everything works out and you can get this off of your record because a felony is not cool.

Man this kind of debate is as old as internet message boards... actually older. 
It's a dilemma. On the one hand, if you are a well trained driver in a well prepared car, you'd like to be able to travel at high speed when the conditions dictate - as drivers on the Autobahn can do.
On the other hand, the other drivers that we must contend with on the road are generallyhave much less training/skill than European drivers. So, the risk is much greater for us and the other drivers.
Sure you can make arguments that it's breaking the law. Or that the law is unjust/silly. But, honestly, there is no right or wrong answer, only opinion...
Having done a few high speed runs when I was in my 20s and 30s, I know the temptation. I've found the best antidote is some form of organized racing.
Buddy. I hope that you make it back home safely and uneventfully.

Racer63, I agree completely. I rarely crank it up out on the street (high speed, not accel or a corner here or there). I get it out on the track where it is much safer and controlled.
I did go to 140+ repeatedly in my lambo while I was testing my new brakes (6-piston Wilwood set-up). I had a friend drive ahead in a motorcycle to make sure the coast was clear and we chose empty, limited access Wisconsin road. Pretty safe, well controlled, and a little fun. I will also do aero testing (data collection) on the highway but I can get what I need at 120 or below and then a coast down.
