Back in 1999 I drove my ERA to Reno and got pulled over three times on the one trip. In each case it was simply so they could look at the car. It started getting a little old.

This year I drove the GT40 up to the Bash and was being very careful to not speed.....when I came upon a pickup truck in the right lane I followed him for a while and then decided to pass him so I just eased on around him....sure enough there was a CHP sitting there.

She pulled me over and said I was going 81 in a 65...I asked her if I could get a break and she said yes - she would drop the speed down. I was hoping for a warning.

She then asked for insurance and registration - which I gave her but my insurance card was not the new one so it was out of date.

After she wrote the ticket she called me back to her car to sign the ticket and told me she was giving me a fixit ticket for failure to show proof of insurance.

I wasn't real pleased but continued to smile, assuming I was getting two tickets now, when I asked if I was eligible for traffic school she looked kind of puzzled and said that she didn't see the need as I was only getting a fixit ticket not a speeding ticket!

Cool!!!
