Death Race 2012: NJ State Police escort 100 mph caravan of luxury sports cars to Atlantic City
Brandon Jacobs can run fast, but perhaps not as fast as he used to run, because the Giants traded him to San Francisco. And before he headed west he needed to take a fast trip to Atlantic City. A really fast trip.
The State Police are investigating complaints that two troopers escorted a caravan of luxury sports cars at speeds in excess of 100 mph down the Garden State Parkway to Atlantic City last month. The occupants included former Giants running back and sports car enthusiast Brandon Jacobs, according to a source with knowledge of the trip.
In the complaints, obtained by The Star-Ledger, witnesses said that in the early afternoon March 30, they saw two State Police patrol cars with their emergency lights flashing driving in front of and behind the southbound caravan, which included dozens of Porsches, Lamborghinis, Ferraris and other vehicles, all with their license plates covered with tape.
Witnesses said the cars were weaving across all 3 lanes of traffic, and blowing the doors off anyone who got in their way. The State Attorney General is now investigating the incident, and Governor Christie's office promised "swift action."
But I think this is a service the State Police should offer to all folks who are thinking about a visit to Atlantic City. I know the casinos are hurting, and "you can drive 100 mph to get here" just might be the, er ticket to luring adrenaline junkies back to the blackjack tables. I'd sign up, how about you?

UPDATE 23 Apr 2012 22:09:
Two troopers suspended, and video of a previous 120 mph caravan from 2010.
Once is a joyride. But twice? Twice is a pattern. And a pattern means official sanction. Then there's the not so minor fact that the video shows other troopers writing tickets to hapless, non-elite motorists as the luxury sports cars rocket by at twice the posted speed limit. Yeah, those tickets are legit.
