If your going to be a pretty big team, might want to get a website going with a list of members and events. Could help with publicity and sponsorship....or you could do a cool myspace account

The one speeding ticket I got was from instant-on radar on 581 near the Peters Creek exit. I had one of the old school radar detectors that weren't undetectable, but it was one that had a separate receiver and head unit (which was in my glove compartment). I was driving along, and all of a sudden the detector goes crazy. It was at 1 am and the cop was behind some bushes where I couldn't see him. When I saw him pull out I switched off the detector and closed my glove box. He grilled me about a radar detector for maybe 10 minutes before letting me go with just the speeding ticket.

You want to know something funny I saw on my way home from work today? You know where the cops pull in between the two guardrails and actually back into the bushes in the median on 581? Well as I was driving by there I was trying to see if anyone was sitting back in there and I see an empty case of beer back in the bush. Now how does that get there? I can't help but to wonder if someone was drinking on the job, or if someone tossed it out and it just coincidentally landed in their spot.

Haha thats funny.

I find that in any situation in which Instant-On is being used, if you have a really good RD it'll pick up the signal shots way ahead of time being used on other vehicles.

Not many cops here, or even in VA, use Instant On because they rarely suspect RD users, therefore they dont bother with the 'hassle' of triggering it each time a car goes by.

Now in NC its a differen't story, they use Instant On a bunch!! So in reality, we're lucky RDs are illegal here in VA, if you have an undetectable one, because it keeps cops running around all over the place with their radar on...they rarely try to be strategic. They catch enough people as it is without having to use Instant-On, Laser, POP, etc..

actually no I was being serious, don't do a myspace account of your group....thats to cliche, definitely do a real page. It will make you'll look more professional and will help your team grow.
