People, take it to the track.

Apparently, he was doing a roll race with another car, and a third car filming them from behind, driven by his wife. At any rate, he lost control at something north of 110mph, crossed the median, and head-on'd another car that was doing 70. His GTO split in half, he was ejected, and killed. The other driver is stiil in "Critical" condition.

I only talked with him a few times, but he was a good guy. How he got into something this stupid....

Too sad.
The same thing happened to a good friend of mine back in highschool.
He used his inheritance to buy a Hipo 67 Camero and was racing on Interstate 81 here in NY. Father & son both gone within months of each other. :(

Man.... I can't even imagine what it was like for his wife to watch..

This is exactly why so many government bodies are passing laws with heavy penalties against this behaviour. It'* foolish and completely irresponsible.

Ditto.

people who street race have it coming. sucks for their families and friends.

and for the people they hit.

Jwakamud, the scary thing is that he used to say EXACTLY the same.

BTW the local TV news is now doing shooting a 3-day series on the perils of street racing. They've outed the local racing community website, trying to paint it out to be "A secret underground network" of illegal racing.

And that was all I thought about while reading this post. I choose not to do it on the street because of possible consequences, like this one.

that'* really sad to hear. there'* nothing wrong with a little fun taking off from a stoplight, but when you're doing 30-50mph over the speed limit, racing on populated roads - that'* jsut stupid.
