I'm no lawyer, but I doubt the fact that you didn't sign the ticket will get you out of it. How can you prove you didn't receive it? If you really want to pretend you didn't receive it, then you'd have to first not pay it, then when you get something in the mail summoning you to pay, you'd have to claim you never got a ticket and go to court. When you go to court, I suspect that the police car dash cam will show that he handed you the ticket. Or it would be cop's word against yours and you'd likely lose that one.

Anyway, I agree that you should fight it on the grounds that you were merely accelerating fast and did not exceed the speed limit. Of course, if they then charge you with street racing, as the cop initially claimed, that will be much worse than speeding.

Good luck.
