“My only comment would be what happens on the racetrack should stay on the racetrack and not on the public highways.'

An American man who was caught topping 260 km/h on the Coquihalla Highway in a high-performance sports car has been ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and was cautioned by a judge to save the extreme speeds for the racetrack.

Court heard the Seattle man’s Alfa Romeo Giulia was clocked by police at 262 km/h on a stretch of the Coquihalla south of Merritt on May 7 — more than double the 120 km/h speed limit.“Mr. Criscuolo’s vehicle was then impounded,” she said. Defence lawyer Dan McNamee said Criscuolo was headed to the Area 27 racetrack near Oliver, where he races the Alfa Romeo.

“He saw an open stretch of road and very quickly found himself at those speeds. Obviously, looking back, he recognizes that was far, far excessive.”“This wasn’t a maniac-type driving situation,” he said.
