Go at night/early morning when no ones's on the road, and go >100 mph with lights off. If the cops find you, just exit off and drive around a little, then back to the road. Idea is that a stopped cop still has to accelerate, and if you're going fast enough with an exit nearby you're literally out of sight by the time the cop gets up to speed.

Never ridden with him, but he claims to have cut a 8 hour drive down to 5 hours with this method.

Going 100mph at night with the lights off. I hope he drives into a brick wall.
