Here is the Ca VC code. Hope this helps!
This is what you could get charged with. Did they cite you? Did your car get towed? Where was this at?
~John
23109. (a) A person shall not engage in a motor vehicle speed contest on a highway. As used in this section, a motor vehicle speed contest includes a motor vehicle race against another vehicle, a clock, or other timing device. For purposes of this section, an event in which the time to cover a prescribed route of more than 20 miles is measured, but where the vehicle does not exceed the speed limits, is not a speed contest. (b) A person shall not aid or abet in any motor vehicle speed contest on any highway. (c) A person shall not engage in any motor vehicle exhibition of speed on a highway, and no person shall aid or abet in a motor vehicle exhibition of speed on any highway. (d) A person shall not for the purpose of facilitating or aiding or as an incident to any motor vehicle speed contest or exhibition upon a highway in any manner obstruct or place a barricade or obstruction or assist or participate in placing a barricade or obstruction upon any highway. (e) A person convicted of a violation of subdivision (a) shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail for not less than 24 hours nor more than 90 days or by a fine of not less than three hundred fifty-five dollars ($355) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment. That person shall also be required to perform 40 hours of community service. The court may order the privilege to operate a motor vehicle suspended for 90 days to six months, as provided in paragraph (8) of subdivision (a) of Section 13352. The person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle may be restricted for 90 days to six months to necessary travel to and from that person's place of employment and, if driving a motor vehicle is necessary to perform the duties of the person's employment, restricted to driving in that person's scope of employment. This subdivision does not interfere with the court's power to grant probation in a suitable case. (f) A person convicted of a violation of subdivision (a) for an offense that occurred within five years of the date of a prior offense that resulted in a conviction of a violation of subdivision (a) shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail for not less than four days nor more than six months and by a fine of not less than five hundred dollars ($500) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000). The court shall order the privilege to operate a motor vehicle suspended for a period of six months, as provided in paragraph (9) of subdivision (a) of Section 13352. In lieu of the suspension, the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle may be restricted for six months to necessary travel to and from that person' s place of employment and, if driving a motor vehicle is necessary to perform the duties of the person's employment, restricted to driving in that person's scope of employment. This subdivision does not interfere with the court's power to grant probation in a suitable case. (g) If the court grants probation to any person punishable under subdivision (f), in addition to the provisions of subdivision (f) and any other terms and conditions imposed by the court, which may include a fine, the court shall impose as a condition of probation that the person be confined in a county jail for not less than 48 hours nor more than six months. The court shall order the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle to be suspended for a period of six months, as provided in paragraph (9) of subdivision (a) of Section 13352 or restricted pursuant to subdivision (f). (h) If a person is convicted of a violation of subdivision (a) and the vehicle used in the violation is registered to that person, the vehicle may be impounded at the registered owner's expense for not less than one day nor more than 30 days. (i) Any person who violates subdivision (b), (c), or (d) of this section shall upon conviction thereof be punished by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than 90 days or by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500) or by both that fine and imprisonment. (j) If a person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle is restricted by a court pursuant to this section, the court shall clearly mark the restriction and the dates of the restriction on that person's driver's license and promptly notify the Department of Motor Vehicles of the terms of the restriction in a manner prescribed by the department. The Department of Motor Vehicles shall place that restriction in the person's records in the Department of Motor Vehicles and enter the restriction on any license subsequently issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles to that person during the period of the restriction. (k) The court may order that any person convicted under this section, who is to be punished by imprisonment in a county jail, be imprisoned on days other than days of regular employment of the person, as determined by the court. (l) This section shall be known and may be cited as the Louis Friend Memorial Act.

Cop came up and cited me for "Reckless Driving" and had my vehicle towed for 30 days..the owner of the restuarant did not call the police as they were the main reason I was less hesitant to do so. The managers would do it there all the time. I figured ok I guess one time wont hurt. BAM. cop came. I think they went too far with the citation. "23109.2 cvc reckless driving"

Reckless Driving for sure. It can be cited on private property and you don't need a complainant to call. The officer can on-view it and cite you. It's a misdemeanor.
I have my Arizona traffic law manual here in front of me and it should be basically the same for CA.
28-693: Reckless Driving A. "A person who drives a behicle in reckless disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving." B. "A person convicted of reckless driving is guilty of a class 2 misdemeanor."
Good luck with that.

Should have been cited for stupidity behind the wheel AND lost your car for 30 days.

this same kinda thing came up in Washington at a goKart track I worked at. the Owner told us to tear it up after the shop closed on sat nights at 12 and we alway's did, well after a month or so the Tuckwilla PD showed up and started handing out citations and bringing in the tow trucks, the Owner was called and Juen showed up and told the OIC that we had permission and to let us all go. it ended up in Court and was dismissed with no charges and tuckwilla paying for out tow and impound fee's. So you might want to get ahold of the owner of the property and find out if he Gave you Permision or not and then go take it to court. dont get me wrong its reckless driving for sure and should be cited on public streets but a private parking lot with lots of safe space for a few cookies AND OWNERS PERMISSION is acceptable with owners permission of Course. if you didn't have permison Guilty as charged.

Whew man that sucks.
See if you can work the BK manager as permission but if it doesn't fly your SOL.
Crazy how 10 seconds of fun = $,$$$ of repercussions or worse.
Which is why I don't do it anymore.
