It can't be a national record...

In my wild and crazy youth I once got a ticket for doing 105 in a 15 
(+90).  I was only trying to catch the front of a one mile long freight
train in a mile and a half after I got across the tracks when it went 
by.  Seemed reasonable at the time (ie. wild youth and 2:00 AM).  I
never did see the cop until he pulled up as I was walking into the
building where I worked nights.  When he came up with lights and sirens
I thought there must be a burglary in process, no such luck.  I
remember the court incident well as I had eschewed the idea of getting 
my hair cut and took my chances.  Turned out the judge was blind and 
I ended up with a fine or a week in driver's training.  I don't know
how the officer arrived at 105; I think he just made a guess.  I 
didn't argue though since I was going considerably faster in the old
Firebird.
