Default Drag racing ticket: "I felt bad you lost to a Hyundai, so I only gave you one ticket"

Well, I was driving down the street speeding a bit, as was this Hyundai. A cop came out of nowhere and pulled each of us over. I knew him from school so I told the cop that I have seen him around, and the other kid said the same. 30 minutes later (no exaggeration) a tow truck came and I got really worried... I guess he called it off b/c the tow truck left. Cop comes out a few minutes later and gives the other driver a ticket, then me. He comes to my window and says "You were drag racing. The sad part is you lost to a Hyundai... I felt bad and only gave you a ticket for drag racing... I gave him a ticket for drag racing AND speeding". I told the officer I don't see how this was drag racing (I wasn't doing above 50 even...) but I wasn't going to argue with him... and he said feel free to fight it in court. In Ohio, drag racing is 6 points and a suspension.

It's going to be extremely stupid if I don't get out of this one... license suspension for 50mph just because there was another car near me... time to start the search for a lawyer!

Haha I'm laughing too... it's so funny he only gave me the one ticket. I'm just pissed about the $ I'll lose fighting this one, but I'm pretty confident I can get out of it with a lawyer.

The only thing I didn't put in my first post just to see what kind of replies I got was that the driver of the other car is my best friend lol....
