Default the laws are a LOT different in missouri/kansas

i live in kansas city, mo, which is right down the street from kansas... so i'm in both states quite a bit. i moved up here about 2 and a half years ago (used to live in clearwater.). about 5 years ago, i got arrested for street racing in clearwater. my truck got impounded, i went to jail, i was put on probation, and had many court appearances, and many thousand dollars in fines. needless to say, i learned my lesson, and i stick to the tracks now. i'm on a local web forum here called kcsr.org.

over the past couple of years, i've seen a few people get busted for street racing. you wouldn't believe what happens to these kids! they get a ticket and a court date to pay a fine.... THAT'S IT!

this one kid was all upset and pissed off that he got a TICKET for racing. i read the thread and had to post a reply. i basically told him that he got off waaaaayyyyyy easy. then he got all pissy and say i had no idea what i was talking about. when i posted my story, it got several replies of shock, awe, and disbelief.

i just couldn't believe that the laws would vary so much, state to state.

Sad thing is that the laws vary from KS to MO. I never had trouble with the kcmo police but the kck guys were dickheads. It's been awhile since I lived there and it might have changed but who knows.

Hope you bolted a big turbo on that ranger if you heading to the 10's. O and a better trans!

this was on the mo side that the kid got busted. honestly, i've never heard a story where someone went to jail.

as for the ranger... i had a holset on it, but i'm going bigger. i've got the built t-5 sitting in the garage waiting to go in too.

it's sad, really... i've got a garage, but all my cars stay in the driveway. i've got 2 2.3 turbos on stands, an sho engine on another stand, all the new suspension parts on the floor waiting to go in, 2 t-5's, 5-6 miscellaneous turbos, and more miscellaneous parts then i know what to do with.
