I half blame the driver and half blame the retards who jumped out into the road to see the race. ---

Street racing is not a dangerous. Idiots street racing is dangerous. If you’re toolilng down a pitch black highway at 4am and all of the sudden a bunch of idiots run out in front of you in a cloud of tire smoke, you shouldn’t go to jail for the rest of your life.

that is on the news too damn much down here. I feel awful for the families of the victims, But they are still crying for answers after it was stated they were hit while standing in the middle of the road with a speed limit of 55mph at 3 something in the morning. It may have been the driver in the crown vics fault. But is not sounding like it. ---

They said they thought it was a passanger but it turned out it was another spectator that ended up through the windshield into his car, even more traumatic imo. I blame the guy in the Crown Vic, for nothing more then being at the wrong place at the wrong time… Headlights weren’t on? Lame excuse when they are all facing the opposite direction, how would that help? ---

Street Racing can be safe and fun if its done at the right time and location… it also can be deadly at the wrong time / wrong location. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/another-street-racing-accident/195544.md?page=2)
