highballed
Drove very fast
Highballed means moved at high speed, from the railroad signal (a raised ball) indicating clear track ahead.
A train that highballed was running fast on an open line: The express highballed through the station without stopping.
The term extended to any rapid movement: We highballed it down the highway to make our flight.
