Senate Clears Way for Local Street Races in Ga. | 13WMAZ.com | Macon, GA

Senators cleared the lane for local street races, touted as an economic development initiative for cash-strapped Georgia.

Senate Bill 345, sponsored by Sen. Jim Butterworth, passed 41-9
on Tuesday. Under the proposal, racing on highways or streets would be allowed when the race is sanctioned by the county or
municipality and the road is closed to other traffic during the
race.

Emergency medical personnel would also have to be present at
events and the race would have to be publicized 30 days prior to
the event.

The Cornelia Republican says such races could be a big tourism
draw for Georgia. Critics derided the proposal as a public safety
issue.

Hey, it's working in Newfoundland. Don't they do it in Nevada, too? I'm thinking of the Silver State Classic.

I wonder what the good Senator has in mind...Fast & the Furious drag racing down small town Main Street...or real street circuit/road racing/rally stuff. There are some great roads up in North GA...

Sounds like drag racing, but both types would be even better!
