Either way, if you appeal you are entitled to discovery. File a motion with the court for the state's evidence, if they fail to produce the evidence then it is likely that your case will be dismissed. The evidence will allow you to do additional research into the potential accuracy of the speed measurement, and allow you to challenge on certain grounds.
Yes, this is what my friend intends to do. He said that he wants proof or evidence from the air radar that he was indeed going the speed they clocked him at. The hash marks/stop watch method could prove to me a tough thing to argue, but if it was indeed an air radar then proof should be available.
