**sigh**
I realized we had fallen far behind at our pace. We picked up for a little bit. I got the call as the road block was in progress and the first few cars had been pulled. My buddy was in the white STi. About that time we were approaching the on-ramp to I20. We jumped on 20 and did a steady...about 70mph pace. Construction had 20 ALL jacked up. I'm assuming that's why that part of 20 wasn't on the route, LoL.
But yeah, our crew of three pulled in as probably car #20-23 to finish.
I'd say yes to cheating but...it wasn't a race anyways. 

 And if it was...civic's don't beat Corvettes, WRx's, and stupid orange-car drivers.
