Don, before someone chimes in? reread Kris's post...there is a K behind the 500, its just about impossible to get half mil worth of fix-it tickets with one sweep or two...

You didnt stop and think for one second that Poilce actually might have some just cause for doing this? you think one day out of blue one cop turns to other cop next to him during donut break and say, hey lets ask state for some money so we can pull into a random parking lot, and just our luck? there will bunch racers there and we can give them all street racing tickets or better yet, no front plate tickets.

The best way to make people believe is to base everything off of truths.
Cracking down on illegal racing is one thing, but cracking down on modified cars is completely different. I don't care if these guys at that car meet actually do go race illegally on the streets. There's a huge difference in making that accusation when they are caught in the act as compared to making that accusation because they have modded cars. Do you really believe the government is so stupid that they don't know the difference? They found a huge cash cow. What do you think they're gonna do with it?

For the most part, as strict as some rules might be, I will normally side with the laws. That is how I raised and taught my children. If you want to stay out of trouble, don't test the rules. You'd think my daughter would heed those words . . . Well, some of the time.

And I'm not out to fight the law or the enforcers who are only doing their jobs. But as an American, it is our duty to fight for and defend our rights, even if all you do is try to spread the word.

For the lack of the said, we find ourselves in less than desirable situations.In my spare time, I mentor turn key kids and tutor math. The young and less fortunate need role models to help them be productive beings.
Well, I did a good job of going tangent on that.
