RIP. Thanks for posting this. The greater awareness that can be created, the better. Not that those engaging in the activity are unaware of the risks, but reminding them and the rest of us sure doesn't hurt.

I just hate seeing this stuff on the news all the time. I'm sure everyone knows about this already but there was a guy, 20yrs old that was street racing here in Houston that lost control and slipt his White Z in 2 after hitting a tree in April.... Poor guy is still in a coma. He spent his 21st b-day in a coma....

I opposite side of the story is that I have tried to get school boards to send kids to a teen car control half day class at MSR-C through my driving school and as soon as they find out I am going to hold it at a race track they stop listening. "We could not send the kids to a race track." I tell them I can go to the mall and watch the kids practice bad habbits all night long.

Parents buy kids dumb cars. Dumb kid is unprepaird for any car let alone a fast one and dies driving dumb cars. No one cares including most parents.

What do ya'll think, is it just as bad racing on the freeway as compared to street racing? I would imagine street racing is MUCH more dangerous. Going 70 or 80 in 35's or 45's and the possiblity that a car could come out of nowhere. I dont street race anymore, its been well over a year I beleive since I have last done it...but I do occasionally do it on the freeway, but its usually at 2 or 3 in the morning when there are like 5 cars on the freeway.

"Street Racing" means racing on public roads. Doesn't matter it's the freeway or not. IMO- Doesn't matter if you are racing at 3pm with hundreds of cars on the same road or at 3am with only 5 cars. Your still putting other peoples well being and lives at risk, not to mention your own. LOL

Boys will be boys. Some people just forget how they were at that age.
