Sure the photo from the KOMO News makes it look like a supercar driving tour like the ones organized by DFW Drive Your Dream Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio.

Actually, this was a group of auto enthusiasts who travel south from Canada through Oregon together on their way to an annual exotic car event.
Unfortunately, drivers in the group were re-enacting a portion of The Fast and the Furious when they blew by Oregon State Trooper David Peterson.
To quote the one and only Jim Rome: Uhh-O.
The cars were racing at high speed along Highway 18 near Grand Ronde. Trooper Peterson nabbed all six.
As if one ticket were not enough, a driver in the group got clipped a second time two hours later for a speed violation in the Columbia River Gorge – according to a story written by a KOMO staff writer.
Yeah, they use radios.
One of the nice things about doing a 2000 HP drive your dream tour is that the route is preplanned and suitably equipped lead and chase vehicles accompany the convoy of exotics.
As for our group of exotic car drivers, they might be experiencing higher insurance rates or hitting Google to see if they can do an online speeding ticket class to get rid of the points….
