That's fast.
A Barrie-area teenager probably spent the rest of his holiday weekend explaining to his parents why the OPP allegedly clocked him at 239 km/h along an 80 km/h highway in a car filled with teenagers.
Yup, he was reportedly one kilometre shy of three times the posted speed limit.
"Just a tragedy waiting to happen," is how Const. Mark Kinney described a car going that fast with an inexperienced teenage driver and four teenage passengers.
A Huronia West OPP officer spotted a black 2000 Lincoln LLS along Hwy. 26, just north of Barrie, at 1:50 a.m. Sunday.
"(The officer) saw (the speed) and couldn't believe it," Kinney said. "It was just a whoosh."
Speedometers in most cars, including police cruisers, only go up to 220 km/h.
The officer followed the car and watched it speed past another car on a blind hill before pulling it over in Midhurst, police said.
If the car had crashed at that speed it would have been a devastating collision, police said.
"You would not have walked away from that," Kinney said.
The car, seized under the new racing legislation for seven days, was registered to the boy's father.
The boy's driving privileges are also suspended under the legislation.
Corey Graves, 17, is charged with racing, careless driving and failing to surrender his licence.
He will appear in a Wasaga Beach court June 17.

uh... the 5.0 was against another 5.0, we started from a stop... went to about 140ish i believe
the 02, i think got up to 140-145ish(sorry man, i stop lookin after a while)
and that was a top of 2nd roll on the highway against a stock new edge
realize too, its the highway, at 12-1am in the morning, only issue is other cars, and well thats what tail lights are for
