So this must have been a bunch of TCS guys right?
The drivers of a dozen or more high-end sports cars were cited with reckless driving Saturday after astate trooper clocked them at more than 110 miles per hour as they zoomed west on Interstate 394, just west of Louisiana Avenue, authorities said.
A patrol officer stopped seven of the vehicles as they doubled back and headed east on Hwy. 12 near Wayzata Boulevard (County Road 15), but five others allegedly took "evasive" actions and sped away, said patrol Lt. Tiffani Nielson. The drivers of those five vehicles were later cited when they stopped at a Holiday gas station in Maple Plain.
"Two dozen cars, well over 100 miles per hour," came the first report late Saturday afternoon from a patrol officer on I-394 back to dispatch. "Lamborghinis, Porsches; one of them was bright green."
The same officer said just a moment later, "I see the lead pack. … I'm gonna stop that one, and then I'm gonna start flagging them over."
A second patrol officer spotted the pack that reversed course and headed east on Hwy. 12.
"I'm gonna try to shut it down here," he told dispatch, according to scanner transmissions. "I got [one of the cars] pulled over just west of County Road 15. Another five at stopped at Baker [Road]."
The makes of the cars included Lamborghinis, a McLaren, a Ferrari, a Maserati and other elite models. The patrolman estimated the combined list price of the dozen vehicles at more than $2.1 million.
The drivers ranged in age from mid-20s to mid-50s, and they must make an appearance before a judge to answer the misdemeanor charges.
