I doubt the trooper could pace us because we had a 80mph head start on him even before he pulled out onto the road.

Not being there, I don't know how long the officer was behind you before you pulled over. Its likely, however, that viewing the tape would make it obvious that the 4 of you were racing each other, just as its likely that its obvious that you reached speeds well in excess of 85 mph. Drag racing in traffic is prima facia evidence of reckless driving, so you get convicted on both counts.....
