I read in the paper this morning, something that scares me more than a bit. My mother mentioned to me actually... Twas about drag racing penalties going up... Caught drag racing might soon mean a $1000 fine, and 2 yr suspension of liscense. It's made it through one part of the legislature... It may actually become true soon....

I know you're not supposed to race on the streets, but most of you here can't honestly say, "I was sitting at a red light and this little rice burner civic pulled up next to me. He revved the engine, but it never occured to me to race." No, it's "Hey I pulled up next to this little civic, and womped him at a light." Or lost, for some of you... Or in my usual case, pulled next to a Mustang GT and had some fun showing him Cadillac style  And I'm hunting through the Florida Today website... trying to find the article.

That seems like a small penalty. They should increase it.

Here's the law and the changes that have been made. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/cgi-bin/view_...ssion&Submenu=1 Here's a quick summary of some some the changes: God help you if you are under the age of 18. You can forget driving again. A repeat offense within 5 years of the 1st offense is a FELONY Vehicle impoundment at roam towing rates Anyone spectating, or assisting is guilty of same. Repeat spectating is a felony. Absolute arrest on the spot. Ticket costs alone are between $250-$750
