I thought everyone knew Corinth is not the place to speed. Hell Rams, when we came back from Denton once I even dropped down to 65 and let you take the lead. Once we got over the lake though........ different story.

Things to remember if you have had even one drink.

DO NOT SPEED! no matter how bad you want to. Not even by 1MPH

Dont try to make yellow lights.

Dont take wide coreners thats a big give away.

Dont focus on other cars headlights. Drunks do this for some reason.


Last but not least. If you are Ramsey just do what Jeff says in the first place!

What happened to you now? Spring a leak and overheat the engine?

Bring it on a trailer and say it's too fast for the street. We won't tell.
