$120 Entry??? I Street Race for Free!
And pick up some bucks on bets, too.
But is Street Racing Really Free?
Look at what it can cost you, at least here in Illinois-
75 in a 55 zone- $95.00 and 15 points
85 in a 55 zone- $200.00 and 50 points
95 in a 55 zone- Class A Misdemeanor crime charge, forfeiture of car, $2,500.00 fine, 6 months license suspension, up to 1 year JAIL time
Drag Racing on public streets- up to $1,500.00 fine, 12 months license suspension, 30 days JAIL time
Source: West's Smith-Hurd Illinois Compiled Statutes Annotated and Illinois Administrative Code. Fines vary by jurisdiction.
Does sanctioned, legal road racing begin to look like a sensible alternative?
(Side bets are still up to you.)
You may be surprised by what beats you!
