Police stopped a convoy of speeding cars in Cosmopolis Saturday, shortly after noon.
“We got 15 stopped,” said Deputy Tim Laur of the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office. “We missed a couple.”
Laur clocked the fastest car at 91 mph near the truck scales east of Montesano on Highway 12. He attempted to make a stop, but his department-issued pickup was unable to catch up to the convoy.
“The governor kicks in early on that thing so I couldn’t keep up,” Laur said.
He radioed ahead for assistance and Trooper Matt Rabe of the Washington State Patrol made the stop after the cars passed him in Cosmopolis.
As Laur, Rabe and other officers from the Sheriff’s Office, State Patrol and Aberdeen Police Department issued tickets, the drivers congregated by the side of the highway. Their vehicles, an assortment of domestic and import vehicles, were parked in a long line along the shoulder. Most of the cars appeared to have been modified to enhance performance.
“We saw the police needed help so we decided to pull over because we have extra tools,” quipped one of those pulled over.
All of the drivers were from Pierce County in the Spanaway area, police said. They said they were headed to Ocean Shores on a day trip, said Trooper Chris Wilson, who assisted in the stop. The drivers also claimed it had been another group of cars that was speeding, yet none of the other officers saw such a group on the road, Wilson said.
Each driver was issued a citation for speeding in excess of 80 mph in a 60 mph zone.

Hahhaa that's the best story ever! Some trooper got a free cup of coffee from the Mayor of Jerkwater Speedtrapville. The joke about the police needing help and we have tools was funny as hell.
shit that sucks. i should have have mentioned that they patrol that area really well now adays. I used to travel between lacey and aberdeen just about everyday and there was ALWAYS a ton of cops there. As well as a plane that flys near elma. Those places are such shitholes, hell you guys just provided enough income for that town to operate for the next few months.

Kyle, brandon and christine... we all need to hang out again soon. hope your shit isnt fkd up too bad brandon.
gettin stuck in the sand was so not fun. same with our ghetto ass csi spring break motel haha.
Ah, and people wonder why the general public think SRT4 owners are douches.
Driving like a douche has little to do with speed... and more to do with aggression. If they got popped for cruising down the road at excess speed, but they weren't swerving in and out of traffic and doing stupid stuff like that... How does that mean them douches?
