Some days, I wonder whether the Cannonball Run — the unofficial and illegal road races from coast to coast using regular freeways and byways — have made Utah their new training grounds.
Pick any freeway or major highway along the Wasatch Front. Drive the speed limit. Then look in the rearview mirror. You’ll see them coming on all sides — cars and trucks going at least 20 mph faster than you are.
It reminds me of the old joke about the man who told police he was just trying to keep up with traffic. “But there is no traffic,” the officer said. To which the driver replies, “That shows just how far behind I am.”
