If your going to race on the street, do it where no cars are or just don't do it. Side streets peeps

What a ******* shame. They better catch those 3 bitches. From this story, it sounds like it was a V6 Camaro.


RIP to the innocent bystanders.

That's ashame. This type of info is why it always strikes fear in me to race in a town/city setting.

That is sad indeed

not just for those who were hurt but for those who were racing and didn't get a scratch... they have to live with this for the rest of their lives.

Buckle up for sure

**** like this is why I constantly check my rear view, side mirrors, and scan all around me while driving. You never know when some douche bag who can't contain himself is going to fly up on you or cut you off.

RIP to the baby and the momma.

It was probably a LT1 or LS1... they were racing a Evo not a base Lancer. Very sad though...

That would be why I don't race anywhere and everywhere, that **** happens when you race where you shouldn't. Sad story man. I have kids so I can't imagine what that family is going through right now.

Where the **** did it say an evo? It was an eclipse....


And a Similar thing happened in Phoenix to a local board member. From what I hear, he was a stand out guy, always helping others out whenever they needed it. He was driving his mini van, wife and kid with him, and two tegs were hauling ***, ran a red light, and one slammed his car. I know the Van driver died, but not sure about the others. Sad ****, truly sad ****.

damn... it was their time...

i dont street race anymore, not for the fear of killing myself or others, but being pulled over again... i would only street race on an open highway with little to no traffic.

That's such a sad story. I really hope they catch the other 3 and both drivers get many years in jail for this seneless act. Take it to the track or a deserted road if you must.
