When you lose (and you will lose), you can appeal the courts decision to the Macomb County Circuit Court for an actual unbiased judge. I've done this once in Wayne County and had my ticket dismissed (while the city attorney and cop were there) because the same cop railroaded his daughter
. In the end it cost me the $6 appeal fee.
BUT, have all your ducks in a row. If you have a witness (like the other driver), bring him in.
Most local courts will plead down a drag ticket to a 3-point speeding ticket or careless driving (4-points). Usually drag racing is a 6-point ticket. This can cost you a lot. Lawyer fees or Driver Reponsibility fees, not to mention the cost of insurance over three years.
