Default Cops and AutoX

At the last AutoX event I went to there were about 5 cop cars that showed up and ran the course. They had the slowest times (probably never autoXed before) but the real kicker was that they didn't slow down after the finish line and only slightly slower through the grid area. I wish I had both a camera and speeding ticket on hand.

It could just be that no one explained to them that the pits/paddock/grid were slow areas.

Next time, though, someone should pull out the spike strips ! That'll teach 'em.

Hey, if they had their lights and siren on I guess they could have got away with speeding in the paddock.

Well put. Me too. We have a statebull come out to our races on a regular basis. He upholds all the rules like everyone else. We like it when he brings his radar gun. Last race he brought it, the Vettes were going 110 on the back starights. I never made it past 80.
