Local lore has it that the fine for an unregistered vehicle is ~$750 but the owner can request time to present the court with a mechanic's certification that the vehicle has been modified so that it cannot exceed 20mph, the penalty is reduced to court costs for the first offense. I don't know if this is true but I've heard it often over the past years.
I have a street legal and when I am doing 25mph, I routinely get passed (doors blown off) by non-registered carts that are doing many mph more than me. I would guess they are operating in excess of 30mph. An acquaintance who works at a local cart dealership says most trade in carts have brakes that are completely shot and couldn't stop the cart under any sort of speed/load in an emergency.
If you must drive fast, consider seat belts and disc brakes!
