Hi,

I have a friend with an '85 Lamborghini Countach QV, and I got to navigate with him in the Running of the Bulls 3 yrs. ago in Cali. This was officially sanctioned with CHPs all along the routes. Speed Offenders were ticketed with the fines going to charities (per preagreement). It was interesting watching the CHPs time the speed runs with their radars, while another CHP wrote out the tickets for the speeds clocked a half mile down the road. That event cost some participants in excess of $20k, depending upon how fast, and how often, they chose to exceed the posted limits. My buddy dropped about $7500. In total, I think over $250k was raised. Good fun for a Good cause...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
