If they were only enforcing proper registration for proper use, I suppose that would not be an issue. When they race at the NHRA, and other events, I don't see CHP checking for registration.

Current enforcement is not as much about proper registration as it is about illegal registrations that took place in this state prior to SB-100 and the circumventing of the rules and taxes etc.

There is a hostile environment here in California towards these cars that go beyond what is obvious.

SB-100 registration that allows for only 500 lucky people to be able to register their cars (not just Cobras) in a state the size of California with 30,000,000 or so motorists is a slap in the face of everyone.

I have argued for a few years against those who claimed it was better than nothing. It really isn't.

Issuing 500 numbers a year in California would be akin to States of Montana, or Wyoming passing legislation that says only two people can hunt or buy a boat this year. It is almost there to annoy and punish the others.

If you look at the overall number of cars and people living in some of the not-so-populated states, how would residents of Idaho feel if their regulators allowed 3 Cobras to be registered in that state each year?

It is getting stupid and ugly.

The car hating, basturds in Sacramento now have the tools to go after all the improper, creative registrations while referencing the "legal way of doing it". They threw us a crumb and now they are able to say, there are legal and proper ways of doing this and you chose to break the law.

I knew there was a catch to all this..

No we are NOT better of with SB-100. They are!! In the past we had an excuse, now we don't.

Sucks!!
