Very similar thing happened to me as well! I was headed south on I-25 toward Denver and a guy in a lifted 4x4 goes ripping by me like I'm standing still. I'm going a little over 75 in a 75, he HAD to be going at least 100. And just when I'm about to start a rant to my wife along the lines of 'why do these d-bags never get pulled over', I see action in the median. An un-marked cruiser brakes hard out of the north bound passing lane, crosses over, waits for a pocket in the traffic, and goes roaring by us, lights blazing! The truck heads for the first exit it sees, but the trooper's too smart for that, makes the off ramp and as I go under the overpass I see the truck completely pulled over. Genius was doing 25+ over on MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, which has got to be the most patrolled weekend in the year. What possesses someone to do that, exactly? Is it really worth the risk to arrive somewhere 10 minutes before someone going about 5 over would????
