[QUOTE="SixPak, post: 15952332, member: 142259"] I had just done a rebuild on my '72 SBC Nova years ago, and took it for spin up on the Xway to feel it out. It felt good so I gave it the juice and run it up to around 120ish and got off the gas as a curve was coming up. As I came I around the curve I spotted a State Trooper camped out on the side of the road. As I blew past him I was going 95 or so, looked in my mirror and saw him pulling off the shoulder. I put the car in neutral and started coasting, accepting the inevitable. Sure enough, the lights come on so I pulled over. He asks where is the fire and I explained the new engine, just putting it through the paces to make sure it was a good build. He ran my license and stuff, comes back and says he can smell the rebuilt engine smell, and would like to look at it. I obliged him and popped the hood. Turns out he was a gear head also and liked what he saw. He told me what he clocked me at 90+, and that he had to give me some sort of ticket. This was right after Jimmy Carter imposed the 55mph speed limit nation wide, so what he did was give me an 'energy speed ticket'. He explained that it amounted to nothing more than a warning and did not add points to my license. He told me to take it easy, then we both just went on down the road. Now that was cool, considering he could have wrote me up for wreckless driving, impounded my car and maybe even locked me up. [/QUOTE]
