You have a bigger "more immediate" issue that will come into play. The current "state of virginia" economic crisis will impact rulings like these. State Troopers are going to be writing more tickets closer to the 10MPH over range than the "wait for the big offendors" stance they've been taking on interstates, and local municipalities will be writing more to bring more revenue into the local government cofers.
Personally I think you're going to have to get a good lawyer, give them the specifics and see if they can work with the commonwealth attorney and see if you can get them to consider arbitration before hand. Pacing you at such a brief stint is going to be a hard call, especially if he wrote the wrong info on the ticket. Just remember, the cop is a "representative of the court" and judges take technicalities very seriously if they can be proven.
Guys wonder why I do so many track days!

Good to hear it worked out. In Ohio, double the posted limit is a suspended license for sure, possible jail time (anyone know more about the jail time?)
With the economy in the ****ter, tickets are getting handed out like it's going out of style. Time to slow down...

Actually, No I don't have to. There were several guys there who were collecting the left over time slips. Mine were collected by a nice guy over on Bimmerforums and he relayed the info and some video clips to me via email.
My "best" time was a 11.24 at 127mph and I did not update that thread because I didn't get the info about my timeslips or the video clips until some months later. Since I really could care less about drag racing, I didn't keep up with it.
But thanks for trying.

So I guess the question is
"a" why'd you edit the original content?
"b" Why do you care what the hell I have below my signature?
"c" There are a couple guys here who have driven my car. 11.24 at 127mph is actually an insult to the performance capability of the car and further illustrates how much I suck at drag racing.
"d" You did notice the wheels off the ground in the pic, right?
"Man up?"
Have fun... I'm pretty much done with this conversation.

B. Because the time is untrue.
C. Yea, sure, what does that have to do with anything?
D. The wheels coming off the ground mean nothing. Your words and time in your original thread are all the facts needed.
E. Yes, man up, maybe at the next meet, eh?
Give it up already, you're done.

What part of "I do not drag race" didn't you get?
I won't be coming to another "meet" to run that car. I have no desire to run that car at a drag strip. Why don't you man-up and come out to a road course event?
Better yet, do us both a favor and get off my case. Your comments targeting me are offensive. I go out of my way to help guys out on this site all the time. I don't need or appreciate you coming into a thread and starting a bunch of meaningless bull**** over a time posted in my signature. Pretty F'n pathetic...
Since you want to call me out on it, I changed it, just for you...

Chris, I have a cousin right now who is serving time in Tennessee for being late on his child support after already being on probation (was in the last 6 months of his 10 years probation!!) over a pot charge. He's serving 2 years and is in the home stretch. Now that's a stretch in jail.

This thread is closed. Congrats to the OP for getting a fair deal. The attacks that are way off topic were not needed and not in the spirit of the site. Please do not go out of your way to bust someone's chops completely unrelated to the original purpose of the thead.
