Spectators can now be cited
The Bernalillo County Board of County Commissioners passed a new ordinance prohibiting street racing, drag racing and spectating at those illegal events.
The ordinance, sponsored by Commissioner Steven Michael Quezada, makes it illegal to street or drag race, perform exhibition driving such as fishtailing, or any performance where a vehicle loses traction, and spectating at such races on any road or highway in the unincorporated areas of the county, outside the Albuquerque city limits.
Previously the county’s drag racing ordinance called for forfeiture of a participant’s vehicle. State law preempted the county ordinance and made the ordinance unenforceable.
Violation and conviction of this new ordinance is punishable by a fine not to exceed $300, up to 90 days in jail, or both.
