Both names are in the GM corporate directory.

That says they were jailed, would that be correct for the listed offences?

On Jaloplnik as well. Apparently true. And the 71mph is apparently just a placeholder speed.

Supposedly from the police report:

From the citation of Thim:

Observed (3) total 2020 Corvettes turn from Scottsville Road onto Ken Bale Blvd and accelerate heavily. While observing the Corvettes, all 3 made a left turn onto Middle Bridge Road and then a right onto Lovers lane. The above (Red) Corvette accelerated heavily in the left lane on Lovers Lane and achieved a speed of 120 MPH in the posted 45 MPH zone. Night conditions. The White Corvette was stopped in the right lane and achieved a top speed of 100 MPH. The last Corvette (Blue) was driven by a witness and did not participate in the race. The Corvettes were observed at speed from the intersection of Middle Bridge until the traffic stop was conducted at Olde Towne Blvd. The odor of an alcoholic be verage was present on the breath of the operator. PBT detected presence of alcohol. The party stated that they were all familiar with each other and were employees of GM. The individuals had been at “Que Time” before contact was made this date. GM owns all Corvettes involved. Speed was detected visually and confirmed by same direction, moving radar. Stalker DSR 2x radar was calibrated before this shift.

If I were their boss I could forgive the speeding part but the DUI is going to cost them their jobs!

I’m sorry. This story makes me laugh! I would have LOVED to have witnessed this! A couple of new Corvettes and the engineers who designed them, doing some, ahem “spirited” driving.
This should be in Lee’s “You can’t make this stuff up” thread. Lol

The be verage Edition sounds pretty quick! Next time get permission from Ken Bale (or just take it to Woodward like the forefathers?)?
