From: 262 miles N of the Dragon
I meant to add, we left Fontana at 6:30 AM. Stiill dark. Got behind an SUV pulling a trailer on 28. Followed him about 8 miles at speeds up to a terrifying 32MPH and down to 25. Anyway, I finally spotted a short passing zone(broken center lines), downshifted and floored it. My guess is I was doing about 75 when I pulled back in the right lane in front of him. I didn't notice the speedo because I was looking at the NC State Highway Patrol emblem and lettering on the side of the SUV. Pucker factor 10.
I knew he couldn't catch me but I also knew he could radio one of his buddies down the road.This has to be the same troopers that stayed at Fontana Village.
Good news, I saw no blue lights in the mirror on the way home.
