    Had a job today for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol at their drivers training facility and was joking with the officers after we were finished my guys and I had to go out to their playground.

    I was really shocked when the training officers came over with 2 cars and said lets go.

    I have 2 guys that work for me which are brothers, so I rode in the back seat and tried to video them going around the track with my phone as I was getting thrown around. I think they were trying to get rid of me.

    The video really doesn't give justice to the speed these kids were doing and how hard they were hitting the turns. Both had the opportunity to drive as fleeing vehicle and as pursuit vehicle with lights and sirens.

    You are right, it is a blast. I did it years ago when I was a reserve, but in a Crown Vic.

    Hand me those cars I'll be more than happy to chase the Police with it on that track.

    Just give a moment while I break out the meds to endure the beatings that follow. LOL.

    You can't get anymore redneck than this...

    I started laughing and told him he was nuts when he grabbed the fishing pole out of my truck and said he was going rat fishing.
