Ryan Allan Champ.

Ryan Allan Champ, 19, was charged with reckless driving and driving while suspended by OSP. The 142-mile-per hour speed was the second highest speed violation ever tracked by OSP.

OSP trooper Matt Klare said he found “customized accessories for aggressive driving” inside Champ's car, according to state police. They did not specify what those items were.

Klare was parked along northbound Interstate 205 near Otty Road where he saw Champ’s 1992 two-door Honda Civic rapidly approaching about 12:30 a.m.

Klare’s radar initially tracked him going 138 miles per hour, but when the Civic roared by, the radar recorded a speed of 142 miles per hour.

The trooper gave pursuit and saw Champ hit his brake lights as it exited off the freeway at Foster Road in southeast Portland.

Klare caught up to the car near the intersection of SE Woodstock and SE 97th Avenue, where Champ was eventually arrested. Champ was alone in the car.

Champ was taken to Clackamas County Jail in Oregon City. Reckless driving is a misdemeanor that is punishable by a maximum one year in jail and a fine of $6,250.

The highest recorded speed recorded by a trooper occurred on June 28, 1993 when a 1991 Acura was stopped on the south side of the Astoria Megler Bridge after it came into radar at 159 mph, according to OSP records.

The third highest recorded speed was 136 mph on Interstate 5 south of Salem in August 2004.

awhile ago on supraforums i saw a video of a guy in his supra turbo following a porche 911 and they were both going over 150mph.. not sure exactly how fast... and a helicopter flew over the porche... the supra snuck away to a gas station, and i think the porche got caught but the video doesnt show it... anybody seen it?
