pleading guilty for something you did'nt do is the weak way out of a situation, so these are the morals of todays youth??? instead of standing up and fighting for your rights, you take the 'easy' way out, because it only cost you a few dollars????

so then you lied to all of us by claiming you were'nt racing????

See Jerry whether I plead guilty or not, it didn't matter. I would've been found guilty. The camaro guy was there and so the judge had two tickets that said we were "racing" against EACH other. When I went up there the judge told me what I had been accused of, and I said NO CONTEST. And to my suprise he said that is not a choice, he said you can either get a lawyer or represent yourself. So I represented myself went out in the hall and talked to the prosecutor, he gave me two options as you guys already know. If I would've paid $200+court costs I COULD have been done with everything. But my insurance more than likely would have canceled me, even though this is my first offense. It's drag racing, I would have wanted a speeding ticket so much more than a DRAG RACING one. I WASN'T SPEEDING THOUGH, but it would have been a lot easier. The reason I said I wasn't racing which I still believe I really wasn't, the camaro was beside me and he really wanted to go, but I was like there are a bunch of cops around I know. He kept on and kept on, So I was probaly doing 30-35mph maybe and I gunned it to MAYBE 50mph I was just messing with him. The speed limit is 50mph. I wasn't roasting them, I wasn't speeding. And TO me that wasn't drag racing, I don't know about you guys. But...anyway back to your post. I didn't take the easy way out, I took the smartest way out. Yeah I could've walked in there and said NOPE I WASN'T RACING AT ALL, about that time the camaro guy would walk up and say yes we were racing. What if he did that?
Anyway I seriously know I would have been found guilty anyway. If I would have plead guilty, next would have been a trial with a jury. I would more than likely need a lawyer. And if found guilty I was told jail time up to 90 days. Even if it was 1 day WTF jerry? So your saying I should have stood up and fought for my rights, so I could then bend over and hold my ankles in jail. I still believe I was not racing, because I wasn't, if I was truly racing I would've known it, and admitted it. But to the LAW I suppose what I did was drag racing. Lesson learned, I need to be real careful, and more drag strip time. Oh by the way Jerry have you gotten your car to the track? Thanks again guys for all your replys.
