85 Year Old is Feelin' Hecka Good: Keeps On Racin'


He might be 85 years young. He might be driving an Oldsmobile. It might have been icy. But that hasn't stopped a Canadian driver from speeding into the record books as the oldest person charged under Ontario's street-racing legislation.

An officer on patrol north of Toronto spotted an Oldsmobile Intrigue zipping through town. The officer tried to catch up to the vehicle in her fully marked cruiser but the driver didn't seem to notice her, and picked up speed as he cut across lanes. At one point, the car was clocked at slightly over 100MPH.

What was the rush? The driver was on his way to the bank and then planned to go shopping.
