Maryland is 100 mph driving and Virginia is fast but it’s too radical if they decide to pull you so don’t get crazy in VA. Va laws are radical beyond radical so for anyone here reading this just keep it 20mph under the listed speed. It’s a criminal charge and reckless driving anything over 20 mph posted Speed and after 80mph as well.

Finally got a bump on my radar detector today but couldn't find out where it was coming from.
The LEO around here normally leave it on all the time and I haven't picked up a signal for a week? now!

I'll be going on a just-for-the-hell-of-it drive tomorrow or Tuesday. Probably for the first time in decades.
Found some neat twisty roads nearby on the map that I haven't driven yet.

It's probably a 250-mile loop, and I'll be surprised if I see more than 20 vehicles.

I found a safe spot and it managed to set all these bests in one hoot. Me and the Mrs together added about 330 lbs to the Redeye. Street tires. Great DA!

Nice drive! Met seven cars in the first 65 miles, but then it got a bit crowded once on a major road.
From then on it probably averaged a vehicle per mile, and it was mostly trucks.

That first part was a bit unnerving at times. The pavement has deteriorated in places, which when you're already near the limit of adhesion in a curve is not a good thing.

That major road (new to me) was interesting in that it is largely straight, and with flawless pavement. Perfect for letting the 'Cat stretch its legs a bit. Didn't exceed the 60 mph limit by more than twice, much.

Not surprisingly, not a single cop sighting along the way. Next time I need to leave a bit earlier, to avoid bugs and snow melt. IMG_2457[1].JPG DSCN3207[1].JPG DSCN3209[1].JPG DSCN3210[1].JPG

Two things that just sunk in about the above drive:

There was only one (count'em, one) stop sign along the way. Obviously no traffic lights.
Also, it was more ecofriendly than usual. Since I only passed four vehicles there were fewer WOT bursts than normal, so according to the Lie-O-Meter the average MPG increased by several tenths.

Umm, please don't tell anyone, but except for two new ones on the windshield, those are last year's bugs.
