the tickets for watching street racing have nothing to do with the betting. it is about all those people you see around screaming "spin 'em" and other such stuff or trying to set up races.
most of those complaints end up dropped from what i have seen and heard over the years. the real intention of those tickets is to make it not worth it for people to go watch, which limits the number of potential racers and potential accident victims by default.
the only people i have ever heard of them following through with the spectating and encouraging an illegal display fo speed are people taht they have direct evidence of setting up street races. that is another reason it is best to keep it all off camera and names and places shoudl never be posted on messages boards. then again, there is always some stooge with a video camera that is jsut dyin to be part of the action and nobody ever stops them. keep an eye on that guy, cause you know all those tickets that got mailed weren't because someone memorized 200 license plates
