That's pretty nuts. Damn radios are hard to beat in a race.

It is local to me and I am calling BS on the speed.

I agree with Mike, miscalculated mph. I read that a helicopter pilot timed the speeder with a stop watch, how accurate can that be ?

They have paint markers on the highway to time speeds but I still don't think they got it right.

No, that's the right speed. I have a buddy that's OHP and he said that guy was clocked using radar. It was a 2011 Mustang with a gutted interior except for the drivers seat, supercharged with nitrous.

straight on coming or at angle when shot with radar? cars going that fast can be airborne very easy without lots of downforce.

The trooper was on the side of the road when the stand passed at 86 mph. The troopers Charger maxed out at 156, the sprang turned off his light at 185 and as he was pulling away he topped out at 208 before slowing down for the NW Hwy exit, so the radar was from behind.

Luckily a county sheriff just happened to be there in NW Hwy
