From the Daily news:

under this bill drag racing will be a crime punshable by a max sentance of 6 months in jail and a $600 fine for the first offense.

A 2nd offense will get you 1 year and $1000 fine.

Here is the funny part:

Under the bill ,"WOULD BE" drag racers will face the same penaltys if mearly caught demonstrating that a race is "imminent".

That incliudes having equipment in cars for:
"injecting speed boosting nitrous oxide" ,
making an "invitation" to race ,
wagering on it's outcome ,
raising a car vertically (WTF IS THAT, A WHEELIE?),
and or "spinning" a vehicle in a circle.

Oh yea ,
they take your car too.

Sounds like someone watched The fast and furious too many times.
They race on city streets at 130+ mph and then hit the button and go warp speeds,
so fast there floorbard fall out,
jumping bridges and stuff. :nos:
IT'S A FREAKING MOVIE !

This is crazy and bias IMO,
why would Nitrous be different then a turbo or supercharger ?
Maybe my car is slow and I need some sort of power adder to merge on the Long Island Expressway. :rolleyes:

Does that mean I am intending to race HERE and NOW cause I have a bottle ?
Because I have a gun ,does that mean I intend to murder someone ?


We can thank the stupid ricers for all of this,
Making noise,weaving in and out of lanes,blowing red lights and stop signs,
Trying to "drift" on the street (see my post "Chevelle almost got creamed tonight")
That my friends is NOT Drag racing !

Then to boot,
They close the only dragstrip on Long Island.
Now there taking about closing Englishtown too,
because the nitwits who bought million dollar homes near there don't like
the noise or traffic,
but he niose from the airport is OK.

Come on people lets get back to reality :slam
 
What happened in Westhampton is ashame, ridiculous, and uncalled for. They have to tighten Street Racing Laws now, not sure why NYC... where can you really race there? Although I've been known to touch 95+ on GCP at 5am or so in my daily trip to Manhattan, but I live 75 Miles EAST so I'm gonna rush, in a controlled safe manner. So that law will be pushed out soon in Suffolk as well. If you go out to RTE 51 in East Moriches, and roll up about a mile past the first traffic light, after the Gas Station, you will find a Guardrail. At the beginning of the Guard Rail, there is a spray painted X on the ground. That is the official RTE 51 Start Point moments after Westhampton was closed the drag racing began, broad daylight at 2PM in the afternoon, that PINSTRAIGHT FLAT RURAL HiWay is the new strip... Smells like Deer Park Ave...

In one sick way I hope street racing becomes out of control and the Local Governments realize they made a mistake. I don't wish any bad things on any one but Officials just don't take anything into consideration.
 
BTW I forgot about this one :

Spectators who "egg" on drag racing could land in jail
for 15 days and a $250 fine.

A spectator is someone who "participates" in a race by acts
"that reasonably appear to support such a race"' such as
"wagering on the outcome or actively encouraging the participants to the race".

So if you are hanging out and someone is racing,
you turn to your buddy and say "I bet you $1 the blue car will win".
You are a criminal.
