Makes me that much happier that I'm moving to Oregon within the next year.

Sac Racway will most likely be closed in the next few years anyway cause of stuff like this.

This place is getting out of control

Yea its pretty shitty.. Around 5:45ish, a CHP car actually pulled into sac raceway, went all the way up to booth, hung out for like 10 mins and then slowwwllyy left.. this isnt cool.. my buddy's brother got pulled over on jackson.. minding his business going the speed limit. They pulled him over for having TAIL LIGHT COVERS(not tinted ones). and then told him to pop his hood and got him for longtubes, etc.. and then said he cant drive his car for 30 days..

Seems to me that there would be no reason to be concerned unless you are running illegal mods. If they pull you over and your shit is legal, they can't do a damn thing. But don't complain to the CHP hotline that officers are pulling racers over for having illegal mods. They are only doing their job, but found an easier way to do it. No one said you can't race legally at the track, but smog violations and illegal engine mods on the street are another thing.

Cliff notes: trailer your shit if you have illegal mods!

Juiced, most of the cars going to the track have something that is considered "illegal"

I mean, for gawd's sake, they will nail you for a cold air kit, an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, noise, anything, etc...

Its just an excuse to bring more money to the city.

F them!

Posted by Juiced-03 (Member # 2245) on :
 
I agree, but try not to give them a reason to pull you over (front plate, front tint, extremely loud exhaust, slicks, etc). Usually they will look for exterior things so they have probable cause to get you for other things. If your car looks like it's in compliance, the officer will probably wait for another guy.

It's kind of like a cop sitting in front of a bar. If someone shows signs of wreckless driving after leaving the bar (swerving, no signal, etc) then he will have reason to suspect an intoxicated driver. If someone appears to be driving safely, the cop will probably not pull the person over, even though he knew the driver came out from the bar.

Don't advertise your mods with tint, no plate, stickers, insanely loud exhaust, etc!

juiced, the thing is they will pull anyone over that just looks like a fast car or modified, even if they have everything cool, they will just say it's because they thought the exhaust was a bit lound, then make you pop the hood. its the fact that people go to the track to race and not street race, yet they are being treated like criminals for fucking NOTHING! just because your car has mods on it doesnt mean you are out killing innocent people, anyone can drive like a dumbfuck and kill someone in any kind of car. a car enthusiast should not have to be treated like a criminal plain and simple

communism! good analogy.

question: whats the difference if you are driving an illegal car with no smog pump or long tube headers or whatever...and then you cross an imaginary line.(the boundaries of the race track) onto the street to go home? Aren't we polluting the ozone exactly the same? whats the difference if we are in a parking lot or on the street?

There has to be a lawyer on this forum somewhere??? Can't this be argued? loop holes???

I don't know I guess I was just grasping at nothing.

Absolutely not true. Check any county or city's "general plan" and zoning code and they will tell you what you can/cant do with your land.

I understand about zoning laws and things of that nature, but was trying to make a bigger point...the track is not a PUBLIC roadway and is not governed by city traffic laws.

Posted by o6 ford (Member # 6717) on :
 
my point was in reality... it is exactly the same thing. as long as you are not speeding or driving stupid what the hell is wrong with driving home?

we need a special permit that says i am driving to and from the track. so no mi jodes!

I talked to Tony at the track last night. He said that the cops were out there scouting this weeks before they started. He said that one of the "reasons" they were using to pull people over was no front lic. plate and other minor visual problems. But they admitted that they are actually looking for mods once they pull you over. Keep all your bulbs replaced and your plates on and they will leave you alone. I left the track at 9:50 pm last night and there were no chp present.

Just sux that they have to do it right in front of the track
