History.--s. 1, ch. 71-135; s. 1, ch. 76-31; s. 138, ch. 99-248.
Note.--Former s. 316.186.
As you can see the statute is pretty clear and no matter how you cut it you can't really argue that you were not racing.
I would say the best way to possibly get adjudicated is to fess up that you were playing around but state that you didn't spin your tires or exceed the speed limit and ask the court for its mercy. If you are lucky and its your first time you just may get off.
If you go to court the judge will probally have your ENTIRE driving record before him so keep that in mind. Having 2 racing tickets in my lifetime I am SOL any time I have to go to traffic court.
Good luck.
