I wouldn't have believed it was possible in this day and age.
I bet the air support helped a whole bunch.
I used to love going fast over long highway distances. Especially here in California.
The one gadget that helped me the most was a device called the "Chips Detector" It was a radio receiver that was set up to catch the radio repeater freqs that the Highway Patrol used to boost the signals from the officer outside his car to the car, both directions. It was a discrete freq that they were the sole users of. I knew that I was within two miles of a CHP vehicle or motorcycle whenever it alarmed. It used to be MUCH more effective than Radar Detectors (it was BEFORE laser).
It allowed me to average 145mph up California on Interstate 5.
Unfortunately it no longer works and the biggest detector of illegal speeds if now aircraft on long straight stretches of road. And the only guaranteed method is having a spotter vehicle miles ahead of you. If you are going fast enough you don't have to worry about any aircraft behind you. They are limited to about 135mph.
Don't know anything about speed control in other states anymore.
