Day 3 - Billings to Fargo
Day 3 was a lot of this for me:
Nick purchased a WS6 Transmaro Bird specifically for the rally because his 500awhp STI wasnt quite back together. When we took off from the hotel, I blocked traffic so the whole rally could leave together, much to the annoyance of some hillbillie in his rusty 70’s chevy pickup.
WannabeCowboy: YOU’RE BLOCKING TRAFFIC
Me: Yeah I know
WannabeCowboy: I GOT PLACES TO BE
Me: Yeah? That’s nice
WannabeCowboy: Get out of the fuckin way
Me: Yeah? Gofuckyourself
Anyway… a lot of :lol: later we moved from blocking the 3 lanes and were off. I tend to cruise with Alicia, Chris, and the Infamous Racing crew that I ended the day with previously, but when I finished blocking traffic they were no where in sight. Sooooo I saw Nick who I’ve done rallies before and jumped on the back of the group he ended up with. Initially I thought this was a mistake, but it ended up for the best… or so we thought. cue dun dun dun music. We ended up with a group who was braking down to like 60 from 80 on some of the most amazing backroad I’ve ever been on (no pics, sorry). They decided to stop and do something, I dont even remember what because I had no desire to find out. I pulled over, PT checked tire pressures, I checked oil, we ripped a ton of donuts in the dirt near some oil pumps and off we went. As we left I said “If anyone follows us, it’ll be Nick” and sure enough, ripping around the group of cars here comes Nick in the WS6. So off we went, hours, upon hours of WOT, with the occasional bit of braking for a sweeper. Was absolutely insane, until we came up on two cops in front of us, one of which blocked the road and the other whipped behind us. Nick has a photo of them somewhere, but much to our surprise (as we had barely seen anyone and had slowed to 25mph for the 3 towns we went through), we were apparently wanted in the 3 previous counties we went through… OOPS! It came down to, pay cash for these tickets right here, or we take you back and you can collect the rest of them. So $200 each later we were on our way. I then immediately got more tickets in North Dakota and told PT he was driving the rest of the day.
