Default Street racing charge

A week ago, a friend of mine and myself were doing the whole 'my Camaro is better than your Mustang' and started racing each other on Gulf to Bay. We both got pulled over.
Either one of us were arrested or given a ticket, but have to go to court for 'Racing on Highway'. I am so nervous and dont know what to expect. I have never been involved in any street racing activities. I called a lawyer, but they told me that it would cost me $1500 to have them represent me. Wtf? They told me that this charge is similar to a DUI. Seriously...I cant lose my license. A friend of mine suggested that I posted here for advice.
Thank you so much for your help.

that friend of yours failed to explain to you how to use the search function apparently.

Yes, I told him that I was just being stupid, but wasnt street racing. Probably said too much, huh? I am super-retarded when it comes to the law

Street racing is just plain stupid, and your prolly going to lose your license for 6months-a year...going to a track and racing your buddy=$25...racing on the streets= suspended license and $500+ in fines/court cost

A bunch of jerks here... wow. I have never street raced in my life... I was being stupid and messing around and made a mistake. I was just asking for some advice. Thanks for the people here who have nothing better to do than to be rude.

You endangered other motorists, and the above people are "rude." That's laughable.

I don't have any advice as I haven't had any experience with that, but good luck.
