I'll leave this thread up for a couple days, but its going away soon. Too much discussion that is not multimedia related.

Not all of those cars were in street races. Many were hit BY street racers or by people running from cops. Some were people running lights or falling asleep. I've seen a lot of those pix before elsewhere.
