Breaking the speed limit by 110 m.p.h.

[GRADS]

Well unfortunately the speed limit on our local lake (Folsom) dropped to 5 m.p.h. yesterday. It doesn't happen every year only when the water drops down more than 60'+. They lower the speed limit down to 5 m.p.h. because they stop marking submerged objects and they're afraid that people will hit something.

It got me thinking back to the last time they dropped it down to 5 mph which was a few years ago. My buddy Jory (RIP) and I decided to take my Daytona out there and make a couple illegal runs. As you can see in the picture we made a little modification to the sign. Normally where we took this picture we would be 40' underwater. I apologize for the shaky camera footage....Jory was the best marine mechanic....camera man not so much. Turn up the volume.

I forgot to add that the day this was filmed the lake was actually about 20' below the level where they set the 5 mph limit.

You can really see how low it is, it is lower than the spillways on the dam.
