"I understand that if I purchase nitrous oxide and use it in a motor vehicle that I operate on a public road, street, or highway in the state of Ohio, I may be subject to prosecution for the crime of falsification, a misdemeanor of the first degree, and may be subject to prosecution for other criminal offenses as well.
I understand not having bottles hooked up but come on, I can't even install the system on my street car now and just use N2O at the track?!? Thats TOTAL BS.

Sorry Ohio guys you are screwed if this passes.

You'd get better response if you type a letter and send it to your local representatives instead of signing this petition. SEMA has cover letters for stuff like this.

Ky tried to pass a law on banning N2O from even being carried in a vehicle at all which meant you could even take a disconnected bottle to the track. Letters to the Bills authors and local representatives got the measure tabled and it hasn't been brought up since.

I'm sorry, but I still think street racing is way too dangerous. What's the big deal about going to a track and doing it? Granted, it's not nearly as fun. But your putting other people at risk by racing on the roads...

because if you take off from a light to fast they can take your car from you no questions asked. It isn't about the street racing aspect but the bill will be able for the officer to make the call so if he wants to be a dick and take your car he can say you where racing.

signed, sticky this thing for a while

[BlazinEagle]

I agree that street racing is dangerous and should be punished, but if there are not set rules and regulations then the cops can do whatever they want. I believe that most cops would do the right thing but there are plenty of them out there that would call it streetracing just to set an example.

[Kevin1989]

i signed and ill get others to sign as well

[JA04GT]

signed. It gives the cops to much of a chance to get back at someone for having that car they always wanted. Or to just flat out have a power trip.

[Waffles]

Makes me think about this situation...

One stupid asshole cop, and your car could be gone for good.....

[7721Cobra]

I signed it....you can buy a car from the dealer that makes more HP factory than mine does on the juice. I don't street race, but like everyone else said....One ass hole cop.

[WHYTRY]

if they dont like street racing then build a 24hr track open all weekend with no rules. alotta problems solved. or a speacial place somewere thats open to just the ppl to race. its that easy instead of passin laws to make more money off the public.

That's a good idea. Maybe something the state or city would actually fund. They would make more money off of it at the end....

But yeah, I definitely don't agree on the police being able to take your car...

That would definitely not be easy. The law is stupid, but what what you're saying would not be cheap, easy, or likely even feasible. Nor would it stop street racing.

Has anyone on here contacted their legislator with the form from SEMA? I would but I dont know how much weight it would carry with me living in KY. This law is a slippery slope, I agree with the stiffer laws for street racing. But if this passes whats next, super chargers, turbo systems? I don't like this new law abit.

[bestracing]

I have when Ky was considering banning the transportation of N2O in any form in the state and I have written both Senators and Congressmen when the nation was think about passing a law to start up a cluncker program (not C4C) for polution credits. The local guys took the time to respond and fortunately sided with my cause. The Ky N2O bill actually got tabled and hasn't seen the light of day since.

Whining, crying and opinions wont get you anywhere but when you have hard facts and statistics to back up your clam and have many other enthusiast writting too you carry more weight. You show you took the time to actually sit down and write which means you will get out and vote and that is what moves them ;)
