That's exactly what I was thinking. So what's the probability this guy got lucky and didn't get stopped ONCE versus having blockers or lookouts ahead of him?
Common sense would be he had blockers or lookouts planned out and ahead of him for the route he was taking.
Think about this too, his "average" speed was what, 89? Counting construction zones (no way he didn't run into any of those) or parts of the interstate that are still 55 mph (such as the I-80 corridor that runs not far from me) there are parts of that trip that he was likely well above his posted average speed.
I just don't see a way he made the entire trip in 29 hours at 89mph on average without lookouts, jammers or both.
I'll bet it was fun as heck though! :-)
“Think about this too, his “average” speed was what, 89?”
98 mph according to him. Maybe he really blasted it when he got out West, and it drove the speed way up compared to the East and Midwest. But I would think 98 mph is usually a naked eye ticket, as in that car is going waaay faster than normal.
