speeding ticket on 81

[l33t Mr2]

So, I got a speeding ticket on 81 last week driving to the verona autocross. I was doing 78 in the 60mph 18 over the speed limit. What sucks is I wasn't really consistantly speeding, I just went around to pass a guy and at that 5 second interval where I was speeding I went passed a freaking copper whom then gave me a ticket. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do or tell the prosecutor to possibly get this thing reduced... a lot.
