street racing ?
I live in Tampa,FL and i was wondering what the street racing laws were in other cities?
here if you get caught u get a ticket i think for like 500 dollars and have to go to court(lot of fines) and could possible get your license taken away for a year.
u also have a chance of getting your car impound and going straight to jail depending on the cop and how he catches you.
just curious Matt

phoeinix az they impound your car for 6 months give you a ticket and you lose your license from 6 to 1 year. That really suck cause if you look at it all the races are outide of town and where no car ever drives

Ive been street racing for about 15 yrs.
Up here in the Detroit area it is just a ticket, but it is a mandatory court date also. Ive personally been hit 4 times and the points were no more than 4. Points are accumulative when you reach over 12 you get suspended.(been there) The laws may have changed by now, My last Drag Racing ticket was Mothers day `98, Car was only 2 months Old. I had that one reduced to squeeling tires, 1 point.
Streetlight Showdowns can be Fun, but always check your mirrors !!!

Over here in Houston, TX you get a fine and automatically get your license suspended. My license is all ready suspended so they can't suspended something I don't have. As for California they would have to catch me in order to get my car. I rather wreck it than give it to them.

YA RUN ITS JAIL TIME AND LOSS OF LICENCE FOR A LONG LONG TIME & IN MOST CITES YOU WILL GET CAUGHT.. ID RUN BUT NOT PAST THE EXTENT WHERE IT BECAME A STREET CHASE, WHAT I MEAN IS IF I BLEW BY A COP ID SLAM IT AND TRY ND DUCK OFF SOMEWHERE. BUT HELL IF HES IN A CLEAR PERSUIT THEY ALREADY GOT YOUR TAG ON TAPE AND ALTEAST ARROUND HERE ITS A SMALL TOWN AN ORANGE TRANS AM WILL BE NOTICED ONCE HES IN YOUR MIRROR WITH LIGHTS BLARING ITS OVER BUT THATS NOT TO SAY YOU CANT GET LUCKLY AND GET AWAY BEFORE HE GETS ON THE TRAIL (REALLY DEPENDS ON THE LOCATION ie. IS THERR A PLACE TO TURN OFF TO WAS THE COP CLOCKING OR PASSING IN THE OTHER LANE ECT...)

In TX it is automatic jail and don't pass go! I know because I had a cop come up to me. As he was walking to the car it was "You know I'm sending your *** to jail boy!" I was like 'Oh ****'. The thing that saved me and pissed off the cop was that I had my military ID (Marine reserve) on me

we used to race on airport road which is now international mall "70 442"
it was a great strip and the cops NEVER ran us off
also used to race on the gandy bridge
yes times have changed and its not worth risking your bad *** ride for
we used to go to king of the street"test and tune" at Sunsine speedway is it still around????

i guess it also depends on the cop. i have been pulled over for racing and the cop chewed my **** out. he told me how stupid i was for doing that on the street and as funny as it was, i kept a straight face and said " yes sir, it was stupid" and apologized. but then a week later, a friend of mine got was taken to jail for racing. what made him mad was that he didnt even get a chance to get chewed out and apologize,lol.
