Today I was out driving my vette, doing some pass trips to help calebrate a radar gun for my 14yr olds son sci fair project. , SHe comes out almost right in front of me & I am going 35mph, yelling at me to slow down, When I try to explain to her what we are doing she threated to call the cops.
My husband comes along with the radar gun, telling her I was going 23MPH but she still threats to call the cops.
Pisses me off beyond no belief
So We went else were, (Main road 50mph) lol, I was doing passes & my son & husband were handleing the radar guns (hot wheels & a baseball one) we parked on a side road & I did the passes on the main road. One of the guys came down & started to ask questions, He was kewl about it. & liked the whole idea.
We got what we wanted then we went back down our road with the ATVs & started to do the rest of the tests, First we needed to know how fast the ATVs were going, so we radared them.When we were riding them down one of the neighbors was out in the yard with the kids, Dan Told them what we were doing & he went Kewl.
Then we started stopping at high rates of speed. NO Skid marks. But I did manage to get a masurment from where I was standing to where he fnally stopped. The whole sci fair project is "How to tell the rate of speed with skid marks."
so we need to keep doing it lol so I get to keep pissing off the neighbors
