Why you go Auto-Xing!
RIP for the two folks involved...it's a shame the young man couldn't be blessed w/a second chance (to live and stop racing of course) like many other street racers are afforded. Last edited by BayAreaE92; 08-13-2008 at 10:42 AM.. Reason: FlameProofing |

That is what you get when you buy your 18 year old a corvette. Stupid parents.

Not as expensive as two human lives. Plus track days last a lot longer than some 15 second street race. $200 a day for a track day is well worth it and you'll NEVER have the urge to street race again. It's very fullfilling, the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Grow up.

Cheap in comparison to a funeral or lifetime medical expenses.

I saw it on the news yesterday and they showed the M3. The driver was questioned and they are still investigating the incident.

I remember someone on here said that there's nothing wrong with street racing. Yeah there's nothing wrong with it until you get caught, hurt yourself, hurt someone else or even worse kill yourself AND other people. Also, I know parents should love their kids but teenage driver and fast cars just don't mix. |

To me, the most unfortunate aspect of all this is that they were so young, with so much ahead of them...cut short. Reinforces why I never race other cars, and I am 20 years old. Mature young people with powerful cars do exist.
RIP. |

Which is exactly why we don't kill people at HPDE. A Snell approved helmet can be bought for about $150.

What? Are you saying you don't like going fast if there's safety and rules?

its these jerk offs that give us teens a bad reputation... NOT ALL TEENS STREET RACE! i got pulled over by a cop once cuz i was at a red light and i anticipated the green light at the wrong time and released my brakes a lil too early and inched forward.. then the police in the oncoming lane u-turned and pulled me over saying that i was going to street race with the car beside me.. both our cars got ticketed.. but i disputed it. lol
RIP to the ppl who died in this accident |
