i agrew with you, street racing is wreckless and definatly avoidable but kids modify their cars to race, they wanna see who has the fastest car and they dont wanna spend hours driving to the track. a track in or near the gta would solve so many problems

Not to mention a track where the cops don't sit outside and give out blatant cashgrab tickets.

judgez24

thats the kicker, nothign cooler thanjk cops going to the track, getting info on your caar and how fasrt it is and then finding you on the street

Thats one of the biggest problems.
I know of alot of people that used to go to the track every week end, my self included, that now avoid the track because of the opp and mto writing fines for stupid . Most of which is perfectly legal.
The track manager has even asked them to stop because it is hurting business, but they had no interest in stopping their checks.

same here man, i used to go all th time, used to love the competition and showing the caar off. as it sits ill street race rather than drive to the track an hour away, less fines and less headaches

A car that is in street-legal trim isn't likely to get any fines slapped on them.

It isn't an either-or game. You don't get to bargain "not street racing your car" IF the cops will turn a blind eye to illegal or unsafe mods on your car

Less fines and headaches? Only until you get caught.

Between the up-to-$10,000 fine, the car impound, the license suspension, a potential car crushing as a bonus, and then the massive insurance surcharges when you get your license and a car again, there's a world of hurt waiting for you on the street.

I love going to the race track every year ... it is tonnes of fun and it is a good gathering for people. I mean this gives the younger enthusiansts things to spend there money on rather then drugs and getting corrupt and washed up with the effects of those things. I think everyone have been battling for a track in the GTA for a long time now but they don;t seem to get it. I mean this world is so messed up they have to make everything a big deal!

The problem is, they are writing alot of bogus fines to cars that are perfectly legal..
Ya you can beat most of them in court, but it is now up to you to take the time off work and lose pay to fight them.

Not saying this is a good excuse to race on the street, but the word is out that they are doing this and people are staying away from the track and taking their chances on the street because of it.

Beating a charge in court is not the same as your car having been legal.

Supra90T

If only it were that black and white...But unfortunately, it's not. Cops give out illegitimate tickets left and right. And it's getting to the point now where it's more beneficial to just run than get stopped.

Smart boy - risk a criminal record and jail trying to avoid a piddly HTA ticket.

Supra90T

Nowadays it's not just a "piddly HTA ticket" now, is it?

gldwngr

Compared to jail, seizure of your vehicle, the criminal record, legal defense fees in criminal court, the criminal fine? A typical HTA equipment fine is a much better deal.

Supra90T

Seeing as they're practically threatening to do that for something as simple as squeeling the tires accidentally nowadays(They falsely accuse you of street racing. Don't believe me? It's happened TWICE in 2 months now)...No, it's really not.

gldwngr

Don't squeal your tires then. That's pretty simple, isn't it? Or be an immature jerk on the streets and face the repercussions.
