Going from the track to the hotel

This was back in 1976 and I was following my friend in his TransAm to the hotel from Roebling Road, a 2.2 mile road course in Savannah, GA. I was in my '70 911S and we were at a sane speed when he hit the off ramp to go from I-16 onto I-95. For some reason he floored it and so did I and the overpass of I-95 blocked our view of the GHP parked across the interstate. He was out of his car but saw us as I know I was doing 115 still in third gear and the ramp was posted at 40 (why?). He turned around and came after us both and asked how about 92 in a 55 to which we smiled and heartily agreed to! No racing or reckless add-ons. Took us both to the local magistrate and the fine in 1976 was only $69....not nowadays for sure!
