First, relax. Fear is the mind-killer.
Second - welcome to the club! The few, the fast, the free-spirited B-) Ive probably gotten 20 speeding tickets in my life. And Im sure Ill get more (though it's getting very hard to catch me these days - you learn tricks)
It's not the end of the world, though at your age it probably feels like it right now.
They're just highway robbers after your money. It sucks, but that's life in America - and there's defensive measures you can take.
If you're convicted and the traffic court allows it (normally they do), you can hide one event per year from the insurance companies by wasting an afternoon in a Traffic School http://www.dmv.org/va-virginia/traffic-schools.php
Do it. Yes, your parents' insurance will go up otherwise. Probably through the roof.
I dont know about Virginia, but in California you would only get a fine - not jail. Infractions cannot, by definition, incur jail time and here you wouldnt even hit Misdemeanor until 100MPH. (Ive gotten that one too!)
And this isnt a serious crime by society's standards - tho people will front to you and act like it is. Secretly, everyone just smirks, shakes their head, and says to themselves "Ah, young men and their cars".
The self-righteous should get over themselves. Speed doesnt kill - bad driving, at any speed, is what kills.
EXACTLY what is the charge? Please cite the specific code you were given. You didnt receive a paper ticket? What have you received on paper? That's suspicious if there's no paper trail.
Did he get you on radar, or pacing? What did he say?
What road? I assume it was a highway, at those speeds.
Most likely, your permit will be revoked and you'll be denied a license for 6-12 months.
When you go to court and they ask for your plea, tell them neither - you would like to speak to an attorney and cannot afford your own. They should assign you one from the local Public Defender's office.
I would provide a link if I knew your city and county.
Hopefully you will get someone sympathetic and willing to guide you through this. They probably cant get you off the hook, but at least they can remove the mystery and you wont be completely alone.
Odds are you're born to be a "spirited driver". As long as you drive WELL - dont be a sloppy, reckless fool - then I welcome you. Down the road, dude, GET A RADAR DETECTOR. A good one is a lifesaver.
Unfortunately Virginia is the only state (since DC isnt a state) in America that still bans them, but it's only a $90 ticket and the latest Bel STi Driver (which I own) claims to be invisible to both VG-2 and Spectre systems that cops use to detect detectors, and can be installed hidden with audio only. B-)
The STi is pricey at $400, but if you consider the avg speeding ticket here in Cali is $300 + $35 for traffic school plus $hundreds in hikes to the organized crime called insurance here, it's worth it. (No, I do not work for Beltronics in any way, nor any subsidiary, yaddah yaddah.)
Also, if you're going to be a lead foot, take some advice from another - you may be good, you may have natural skills, but trust me at your young age you are not yet as good as you probably think you are. YOU MAY DIE, SOON, racing around like that.
As my instructor at Laguna Seca Raceway told us, "go fast slowly".
Find an indoor gokart race track, and polish your skills in a safe environment first.
Enroll in a racing school, get trained - some even have cheaper racing camps for teenagers.

For my 15th birthday, I was enrolled in a one-day Bob Bondurant racing school.

Practice your power slides and spinout-recovery in big safe parking lots, so that in danger your reflexes already know what to do. http://www.costco.com/ B-)
Master your machine. I want you to still be alive in 2 years, okay?
See you on the road, Turbo. Though probably not this year.
