Default Street racing around Barrett Pkwy

Barrett is one of the best places to go and cruise around and just hang out and see some pretty serious rides, but why the fudge would you ever drag race anywhere around there??? A friend of mine just bought an 01 cobra about 3 months ago, it was some rich guys garage queen so the miles were right at 15k and it had minimal mods such as ORX, Flowmaster 2 chambers, some UD pullies, and some nice gears(4.11 maybe)???So anyways hes just up there cruisin around with a few other stangs and a stg. II SRT-4 pulls up next to him and starts revving so sure enough they take off. Well the cobra wins but he says it was close and as soon as he shuts down here come the blue lights. So they both get taken to jail and the guy in the skittle was taping so the took it as evidence. Anyone know what the penalty is in GA for street racing and wreckless driving??????????

LMAO that's horrible!

They could actually take the license for even longer depending on what the video had on it...the judge could throw the book at both of them.

well he is 19 and he might possibly lose his license until he is 21. Well the brightside is that atleast he can keep his miles low and have money for mods and maybe a chance to pay it off when he cancels his insurance

Yeah, I'll have to agree with that. The fines are stiff no matter where you get caught for that...unfortunately it was Cobb Co. so it'll be even worse there. I don't remember off hand....but I'm pretty sure the fines are normally up in the $k range. Not to mention he'll have to go back through the entire driver's test when they let him have his license back.
