Illegal? Or just fun?

There are places where people can race. Wel we have places they can rent (rather cheep in fact) and race as fast and long as they wish. Its even safer that way - one have a track and a staff on alart if something does go wrong.
Street racing should have harder fine. It is unsafe for people around racers and it is unsafe for racers themselves. We used to have this every Friday/weekend racing not so far from my home. Just annoying.

california laws are

A first conviction on a street racing violation (23109 VC) means:

Minimum county jail sentence of 24 hours and maximum of 90 days.
Vehicle probably impounded for at least 30 days.
Owner responsible for vehicle's towing and storage charges ($1,000 or more).
If owner fails to pay, vehicle could be sold at a lien sale.
Anyone who aids or abets a street race also faces a maximum 90-day jail sentence.

Plus they will go over your car with a fine tooth comb looking for any modifications and if they find say an engine with a vin scratched off they will crush the whole car.

I have been to tracks many of times and I say its much better then racing down the street with people on it any day. I would never attempt to go 175mph on freeway with other cars.

As for Street Racing, it needs to be a little more steep. Like if a cop clearly sees a "starter" and two cars are racing down a strip of highway, that needs to be jail time + fine + revoked license for at least a year. Just because you want to have "FUN" on the highway, you endanger other people's lives (let alone your own lives?)?

Speeding tickets: $100-$200 + points
Street Racing: Jail time + $1000 fine + Revoked License

Speeding is understandable (to a degree), but street racing is just dumb.

virginia hits you with reckless at either 20 or 25mph over the speed limit and revokes your license. So realistically in a state like VA it dont make a difference. Really they should hit the street racers with the multiple tickets for the acts they are doing. Things like reckless driving and excessive speeding  possibly reckless endangerment in there as well and you quickly get over 1k in fines.

I know here in jersey 25mph over the limit and they can take your license in a lot of states they take your license on double the limit (50 in a 25 = license lost 80 in a 40 etc)
and our speeding tickets are tiered
1-5 mph over the speed limit = 95$
6-10 mph over = 105$
11-15 mph over = 195$
 
i dont remember the fines after that off hand but they also tend to throw reckless driving in there with 20+ mph over at the discretion of the officer who pulls you over.

Until you crash, burn, and die... and then you feel even worse when you live and you've killed someone else because it was "fun."
