Ok I know stangnet doesn't approve of street racing but here's my story.
About 10pm tonight I was cruising the strip with one of my friends and another friend in an SRT-4. We all hang out at the dollar store parking lot so I slowed down to get beside my friend in the srt4(its a 4 lane road) and told him to pull into the parking lot. We drove beside each other for a couple more seconds and then he pulled ahead to let me behind him so we could go right into the lot .this is where the trouble starts. As soon as he pulled ahead of me a cop pulls a U turn and lights em up. We turn into the parking lot and he pulls in behind us and goes through all the liscense and registration deal and then says "hell of a drag race back there right?" That's when I knew we were screwed. The speed limit is 35 and I was going maybe 38mph. I asked how fast he clocked us at and he said that he didn't clock us he just saw us "racing". We both got "speed contest on road" tickets and had to agree to go to court in 2 days or go to jail. Around here that carries an 8 point ticket and a ridiculous fine as well as liscense suspension. To me that is beyond insane when ZERO street racing occured. I'm a firm believer that if you wanna race do it at the track, I plan to go to court monday and contest this. Do I have a fighting chance?
