1966 Barracuda Speeding Ticket
Ok, here's an up date:
I wanted to work up an argument an go to court, well, because this ticket makes a goo story, and i was annoyed.
The motorcycle cop was coming from the opposite derection, and his laser locked me in at 74mph and his speed at 28mph (he showed me the equipment, cool stuff!)
1- i walked out the distance to about where he caught me i went with 660 feet from where i accelerated from less than 1mph (so it was a rolling start, kinda)
2-i went to a speed shop to get a dyno, my 318 (650 4b carb, 385 lift cam, dual exhst, ignitor3 distrib, bored 20 over)(TCI 904 w/shift kit 2400 stall)(rear 2.93 gears) 285 HP / 260 torq.
3-ran some test with a freind, simulating the rolling start accelerating thru 660 feet, timing a split time at 60 feet. we did this 10 times and every time was consistent. i even did the same run from a dead stop and it wasn't much different.
4-conclusion, 60: foot 1.9-2 secounds @ ave 35mph,,, 660 foot: ave 8.8-9.1 sec @ ave 74-76 mph.
so, i paid the ticket
