Default A tale of Speed, reckless driving, and no mention of bubba's

Well sometime back in may I was doing a dashdaq run for gears 4, 5, and 6 in the 55 and happened to get pulled over slowing back down from doing it. Tennessee State Trooper didn't quite understand why I would be going so fast on an empty highway so he hauled my *** off to jail. Seriously he put me in the jail. Anyway 4 hours of my time after being pulled over I had a court date and was released with a $1500 bond. Today I had my day in court with a lawyer of course and the outcome wasn't as bad as it could've been. Apparently where I was pulled over if I had ran another 3 miles I would've been in Rutherford county and they have an automatic 10 days in jail for driving over 100mph. In Wilson county however if you manage to not get Judge Tatum you're not likely to go to jail. Instead I paid $394.00's in fee's, Signed up for an 8 hour driving class that'll cost me another $75's and will have to perform 25 hours of community service. Plus 6 months from now I can pay another $400 and have it expunged from my record, and I will certainly do that. The plus side to all of this is 0 points on my license. I don't really think I could've gotten a better outcome. I've already scheduled my driving class and am working on finding somewhere to do my community service. For those of you who already knew about this thanks for your thoughts and prayers. They were most definitely appreciated.

BTW I will not be leading any runs this fall at the dragon. I gotta keep my nose clean for a while as well
