Racing bad. I wouldn't try your luck at the ticket thing. The judge will most likely overlook all that.
Your better bet would be to call the prosecutor and bargain. For speeding tickets I usually try to trade a no-points equipment violation with an equivalent fine instead of speeding. Basically offering the PA a chance to collect the same amount of money without a trial. If he/she declines, politely acknowledge it and let him/her know that your attorney will be contacting him/her to begin discovery soon. :) I got speeding, improper turnaround, and cutting off a bus down to a broken taillight with a $60 fine after working this angle with a cop and the PA. For improper start and racing, you'll have to offer up something with a pretty good fine. Do a little research and find a speeding violation that is a comparable fine (might be a little tough) and offer that up. You'll get out with a few points and be a few hundred bucks poorer, but I bet it's nothing to what your insurance company does after they get wind of your racing violation. I know here in Ohio, the racing charge alone can carry a suspension and puts you halfway to another suspension (6 points on a scale of 12). In other words, take your lumps but negotiate for smaller lumps.
