Wreckless Driving In VA, court tomorrow NEED HELP ASAP!

What is the name of your state? VA

I was driving on I-64 at 2AM in the morning.
There were no other cars on the road except me and a semi in the other lane(only 2 lanes).
I was going 75 and the speed limit is 65.
All of a sudden a SUV is speeding towards me going way faster than I am and starts to tailgate me with his highbeams on.
I sped up to get away from him and then he keeps tailgating me so I sped up more now since the semi is now right next to me on the other lane.
As I pass the semi, the SUV changes lanes without its blinker and then changes into my lane again after 15 secs. I continue to go about 80 and then the SUV flashes it's lights and pulls me over.
He was in an unmarked SUV.
He asks me why I was speeding and I said I thought he was an agressive driver and he was tailgating me and he says that doesn't matter I was still speeding.
He gives me a summons for wreckless and says he clocked me at 86 which I know for sure my jetta couldnt do.
I did not want to argue with the man.

I have court tomorrow and I did not hire a lawyer.
I only have one accident on my record, no tickets.
What should I plea?

Plea not guilty and get a lawyer. You might want to start looking a little sooner than the day before you go to court.
