The City of Reno is moving forward on new enforcement for street racing and sideshows.
On Wednesday, the city council agreed to introduce a motion to amend the municipal code.
It would make attending a sideshow - even as a spectator - a misdemeanor.
Two years ago, the Nevada Legislature approved a law that changed traffic offenses to civil infractions so spectating at illegal street races was only enforceable by fines.
Today's ordinance would change that - so it can be a misdemeanor once again.
The proposal follows a rise in street racing events last summer.
Reno Police say they issued about 400 citations with around 40 of them going to alleged spectators.
