Message	It's a stupid, sad situation, but neither driver who were actually racing died. If there weren't a bunch of retards lining the street to watch, nobody would have died. Notice how the majority of accidents and deaths come from these races where you hear of (or see in a video) a massive crowd lining the sides of the street, F&F style. Of course things are going to go wrong when you have a group of folks that think the closer you stand to the racing surface, the cooler you are. This is the stereotypical style of "street racing" that creates a blanket term that covers ALL sorts of "racing" on the street, creating more media hype and closed-minded cops. It's unfortunate, but it's Darwinism at its finest. The bad news for everyone else is that these kind of accidents make cops that much more unwilling to compromise on traffic violations that might be interpreted as "street racing," even when there isn't a street lined with spectators, some with guns in their waistbands. -Brad 1992 cow car 1999 girl car 1996 stock car 1986 parts car ________________________ *It's just a car. **Function > Form. ***Don't tell someone else what to do with THEIR car.
