Titleing race cars...
 
Do you guys bother to register the titles on race cars that aren't street legal?

Both of mine are titled. It makes selling/disposing of the car way easier when the time comes.

Mine has a Florida Cert of Destruction... hurricane Ivan car. Nope - no registering (legally) the car. But that didn't stop me from driving it out to Barber for the Grand Am races.

Mine is titled and registered... I bedded some new brakes on a back road last month, lol.

I believe the only thing that wouldn't pass our state inspection is the open hood vent, it needs at least a mesh covering. The car is one massive cop magnet though.

Mine is titled and unregistered since it started life as a street car. Even if it hadn't I'd still title it and keep it registered/insured as long as I could.

I live in SC where there are no safety or emissions testing. So you simply register your race car as a normal car, pay taxes, then pay for tags and you are fine.

I'd say title it. Never know when a cop/sheriff/etc wants to give you grief. Even if it is towed to and from events.

One of the local auto-x guys had to tear the front end off his old CP camaro for the VIN to prove it was his. This was while the car was on the trailer.

I'm in the same boat as Shoes with where my car is titled.

That's the Best Possible Route.

/Granted, it's not legal in half the counties in my state, but I digress. It's legal where it's registered, and that's all that matters legally!

I did not title or register because I don't want to pay taxes and registration fees, nor do I want to deal with emissions inspections. In a more lax state that did not have inspections, I may have gone a different route.
