That is as ridiculous as a DUI while getting a piggy back ride.
That guy on bangshift said: one count of operating while intoxicated, one count of criminal recklessness, and one count of intimidation
OWI doesn't require you to be on a public road. This allows them to arrest you when you're in a parking lot, or in this case a race track.

And they were still better drivers than the paved guys.
(who races on concrete?)

everyone that races at Martinsville races on concrete... maybe Bristol, too, i can't remember..
regarding the OP: i don't think criminal charges should be brought up on this guy, especially not any kind of DUI type of charge since it's not on a public road... but the track could ban him for life and spread the word to all the other tracks in the area.

On a skateboard?

Anything that can remotely be considered a vehicle. Then take it to court to see what the judge says.
In Ontario you can get busted paddling a Canoe, or Paddle boat, But not a bike. That's a Paddlain'
Dover is concrete
My guess is that "local circle track guys" don't leave the drunks on dirt (that could be a new series) to race at Dover.
i remember hearing a story about a tow truck driver at Road Atlanta was caught doing lines of cocaine off his center console while sitting on pit road...

I believe this.

odds are they don't run Martinsville or Bristol either ... not much local Fri night stuff at either of those
My first thought on the first post that the track had to be in N J.
"I know a guy" who got kicked out of Atlanta Dragway when his empty didn't quite make it over the fence.

I have a friend who lost his lisence who just lost his lisence for four years because of this. He was 17 but still, complete BS IMO.
Don't you need a driver's license to get on track? Why would DWI not apply?
No. Why would you?
You can race at 14 years of age at most (if not all) tracks up here.
It used to piss me off that the rallycross officials would ask for your license and ownership. Really, it's none of their business.
Any Auto-X I've attended, they ask to see the Driver's License.
YMMV.

it depends ... comp license .. AFAIK ... no state license needed ... if TT/PDX then yeah, a state license needed
Every autocross I've run has been on public property. License required. The Rallycrosses were on private property. No license should be required.
then this all goes back to the "is a racetrack" a public property ? because I've run several a-x's that have been on racetracks
and nobody read my eariler post
That's not what we're talking about.
