Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

I sit here in disgust over what i just saw on the news... yet again another death related to street racing. This ---- is getting out of hand. And what sucks about it is that everyone with a fixed up car is gonna get hassled even more now. Bye the way this happend in Ontario California, 1 of the top 3 places to street race in California

Happend right in front of a school, and in broad daylight. But this time they cought the other guy to.

Keep it on the track.... or use common sense

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

those guys are complete ------- to do it in front of a school or in public. either do it on the track or in a industry area. like we do.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

thats what im sayin....sux for the ppl who knew that kid that died....but you know...it is his fault...btw...i dint know modified air intake systems were illegal ??? maybe its just certain states cause kansas and missouri dont seem to care what you have....as long as its not a full bottle of Nitrous in plain site then cops dont give a crap..and the video didnt seem to want to load correctly...

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

that is what i call a dumbass ,broad day light in a residental zone in frt of a packed play ground and by a school :-X at least they caught the other fucker. None the less another innocence has passed by some dumb ---- 's inability to use common sence. I feel sorry for you HMT members in that area cause i know you guys are going to get some major heat now. Why can't these wanna b's crash and kill each other off instead of someones mom or something.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

Street Racing is stupid!

Be it at an industial park at 1-4 am or a busy street, there's always the chance of killing someone or possibly yourself. I never thought I would say this but, just keep it at the track.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

Dumb ass punks, 12:30 in a residential area. I'm actually glad that kid died, one less punk on the street. The kid was 18 and already had a child and failed out one high school. Talk about the degredation of western society.

Well maybe someone smart will decide to make a few more drag strips to help push this to the track.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

You all say its stupid, but i bet ya still do it.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

yea we all do it but we do it at night time at 12am - 4am in the morning. not during the day because we work right you know to make money to put in our cars. enough said that guy was stupid.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

They didn't "catch" him, he STOPPED at the scene after the accident. Atleast give him that credit, he knew his friend had been in an accident and didnt try to flee. But racing in a residential school area in daylight... ::) :-X

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

So that means its safe?

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

Yes it's sad that somebody died and they shouldn't have been racing near a school in the middle of the day, but seriously street racing isn't that big of a deal. If there weren't so many cops to catch us we would all be doing it.

I don't see anybody posting when somebody dies from a dui, drugs, murder, armed robbery, etc...

I am not saying it's smart or safe, but I can think of a lot more things in this world that are worse, more of a problem and more dangerous than street racing.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

I havent gone to the street races in a while... but when i did i somehow felt a bit safer when all those people were there running with you (this kind of discourages people who have nothing to do with this to stay away from the area)... but its this spur of the moment type ---- that usually has ended in disaster. Im sure its not just here in California, but everywhere in the US too. Recently there was coverage of such an inccident on CourtTV... And with the sequal to "The Slow and Rediculous" coming out soon... its just gonna suck big time, cause now your gonna have all these little kids who just got their license wanting to race and ----...

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

ok, school zone, public, daylight whatever! Charging the OTHER driver with 2nd degree murder because the other guy decided to swerve around another slower moving vehicle. thats ------- dumb. Damn cops just trying to make an example out of some kid.
1st deg murder = planned out intentional murder
2nd deg = spur of the moment but still intentional
manslaughter = accidentally killed some1

im sorry, but how the hell can the OTHER driver get charged w/ this BS.

I still dont condone his actions, racing, but to charge an 18yo with 2nd deg murder in that, its just stupid.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

I think the whole street racing thing has been played out. Why don't we hear about the house wives in SUV's plowing through intersections and killing people.. Face it.. Society hates modified cars. They think anyone with a loud or other wise modified car is a punk and up to know good. I agree take it to the track.. For me I have to drive an hour an a half to get there and pay $20+ just to race. Then I get four runs. Wow thats fun. People just need to stand up and take responsibility for what they do. Your a moron.. someone died. Got to jail and live with it. Lawyer and lawmakers and gradually taking away the need to be responsible. Your breaking into someones house and hurt yourself.. sue em.. This is the BS you guys should be complaining about. Not a couple idiots.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

did u say I am a moron??? Not clear on that. I just think its dumb for the driver who hit no1, crashed nothing get charged w/ 2nd deg murder. thats what i think is dumb. ----, take his liscence away, ticket him, but charged for 2nd deg murder? Naww

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

No man not you. People in general that think street racing is the most horrible thing you can do.. You was more of a general thing.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

the biggest problem I see is that they see what kind of car we drive, and then they assume we street race and pull us over and harass us about crap. What ever happened to the rights of people and this statement...

"Innocent until PROVEN guilty."

yah lets just throw that right out the window.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

Yeah I see these posts and I get all pissed off. I drive a stock looking Integra and still everytime I go past a cop they are watching what I do. I'm the first one to admit that I have street raced.. I will continue to do so.. if I roll up to light and someone in a hot car is next to me you better believe I'm gonna try. I don't act stupid about it and normally it won't be very much above the speed limit. Police just like to harrass us.. Heck I got handcuffed and put in a patrol car for doing a burnout in my mustang one night. He was trying to prove a point. If we would not have been in a city he wouldn't have caught me.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

All I can say is that what we do isn't worth dying for. Nobody gains anything by risking death for pride. I think that those guys who sport the HMT sticker should be the first to put their ego in the backseat.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

but i don't have a back seat

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

lmao

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

its has nothing to do with pride. People that are morons are morons.. Doesn't matter if they have a car or not. To stereotype everyone who likes cars the same as these morons who go out and kill people is not right. These stupid laws only punish the innocent. I used to race my moms stock thunderbird.. it was a solid 20 second car. I still raced it.. I race my freekin bicycle.. Should it all be illegal? Who is the government to tell me I can't drive a fast car.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

i have to agree that the kid doesnt need to be charged with 2nd degree murder...but i would say more like 3rd degree murder/manslaugter charges cause he didnt really murder the kid....the kid decided to pull into on-coming traffic instead of slamming the breaks....or slowly applying brakes at the second he seen other cars around....the kid killed himself....its his stupidity...but the other kid sorta provoked him into it but not intentionally...its almost like when people ask on dr.kavorkian to help with assisted suicide...i dont know...im not an expert...i think it should just me manslaugter charges only....and take his license away for a year or two...

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

not even that. he raced the guy, didnt swerve towards him or anything (that i;ve heard).

Maybe it was the guy who got killed that challenged him? then what, its suicide? nahh

maybe you can charge him with criminal neglegance causing death, but thats it

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

they're just talking all that ---- (2nd degree) to scare him and others, even with a half-ass lawyer, that ---- would never fly in court, prosecution may try to get it, but it will never happen, they're just trying to get a point across

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

I just have chills after reading news stories like that. I hate it too cause things like this is what makes people hate young kids that drive modified cars. I always think man that could have been me or someone I know. I know they are saying 2nd degree murder for the other driver but it will never fly. One of my friends killed three people in a high speed accident and he's only being charged with manslaughter, which in washington is only like 5 years. Not to metion he's not even in jail yet. By the time courts catch up to you it's been like a year. It just doesn't seem fare that these things happen and I hate thinking about how many stupid people do stupid things. But we have to realize that people die for other reasons too and it's out of our hands. Just if your going to race on the street, keep it safe and don't be stupid. Also be on the look out for other stupid-ass drivers out there.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

i dont have a problem with industrial park and night drag racing thats all fine no one ever dies.

jeff u got a comment? *cough* lol

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

uh, air intake system illegal? PSHHH!

Yeah, they made a bad choice... but there's thousands of different things like this per day... as far as highligting it to stand out like it's the worst dang thing that ever happened is stupid. This is why in 10 years modifying a car will be illegal.. which is one of those things that makes me the most upset. It's like "Gun Control"... don't get me started, I'll kill someone with a fork if need be.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

Dr. Pep.. Good to see I'm not alone.. Guns don't kill people, I do! ;D But seriously if they took away all the fast cars... kids will still race stock ----. Heck I almost got smashed by a non turbo eclipse trying to pass a guy. His car was really slow. So was his brain obviously.

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

Its sad really because these are isolated incidents that all add up... its like their just pouring more gasoline into the fire.... you know... looking for ---- to ---- with... Like when im at the light and I see a cop next to me... i dont want to have to sit all upright and hold the steering wheel at 10 and 2oclock and drive like an old lady just so i dont get pulled over.... these guys are going to make our lives a lot harder because cops dont care if you dont street race... they see your car and they stereotype... just like you might think all cops are dicks... well theres some good ones (ones who just gave me warnings instead of tickets) but anyways i hope that this kind of ---- wont ever happen to any of you guys... think about it... this kids life is fucked.... why because he had something to prove... well you have to be responsible for your own actions... we all know that...

Just be carefull.. i better not find out any of you get popped for dumb ---- like this... or ill go visit you in jail and personally kick your ass

ps. dont you just love the quote i put under the pic..

should make that caption contest #4 or something

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

Yeah, that kid is fucked now. Although its not his fault. He should be charged with criminal wreckless driving, some sort of neglegence for the death, and take his licence away for a couple years.

As for street racing, I will admit I do it, but only if it is actually safe and not crouded with cars. I won't race in heavy traffic and I won't pass people to keep in the race. I don't have a track here so that is my only way of racing. It is dumb and irresponsible of me, but you also have to look at other accidents. If you think about it, every single car acccident is caused by driver error. It might be more dangerous to drive faster, but I strongly believe in fate and if it was your time, you would have been killed on your way home today. Lets say they were driving 80 mph when they were racing and the driver of one of the cars was killed. Now you have to look at the whole scene. What if two intersections before someone decided to make an illegal U turn in the middle of the intersection and if the two racers were doing the speed limit they would have killed the dumbass who pulled the U turn and his three kids in the back seat. Would that have been better because they were doing the speed limit?

I don't know, I guess I play blackjack too much and I can't help but to look at the whole scene up and down the road to see what would have happened under different circumstances.

I use to street race alot with my friends til fast and the furious came out here. All of a sudden preppy punks start causeing trouble ,causeing wrecks and some deaths. Everyone here that fit the street racer stereotype got harrased by the chowder head cops. I remember being ghosted from a cop for like 20 minutes ,hell ....still do sometimes. I have not lost a friend to street racing ,i don't to want and those of you that have im sorry. Street racing is just some ladder for the goverment to get public support on by condeming it.
You don't hear about moms in suv's because there is no hype around it but mention street racing and all of a sudden you got attention. It blows ass that the ones who never do ---- end up catching the heat but thats the way this world is :-X

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

ahahhaha
"The race, which reached speeds of 60 to 80 mph"
60 to 80? thats not a street race wtf.. a street race is on a closed/non busy road with at least a 1/4 mile. damn those cars sure were badass. NOT

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

Law makers jsut have the wrong ideas for solving the "problem".You heard that police guy say they need harsher punishment..huhum no! I firmly belive that a child learns more from reward than from punishment, which is not to say punishment is never needed. THEY NEED TO PUSH FOR MORE TRACKS not try to push for strict laws!! I mean is putting in a Boys&Girls club better or adding a few years to a Drug trafficing charge?

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

Thats very stupid to get charged with second degree murder, but like someone else here said it wont fly. They do say that to scare people. Street racing is a stupid thing to do. I admit i used to do it a lot to. Until i started getting tickets over and over. Racked up 7 in a couple of months, and then a friend of mine died to street racing. Its just a stupid thing to do. Keep it for the track! it dont matter if its 4 a.m. my friend who died, died at 2 a.m. But everytime something happens the cops go on high alert. I dunno about where you guys live but up here in seattle, cops are dicks!!! Ive been pulled over in front of my house TWICE!!!! for my exaust. and have racked up 23 pull overs in the last couple of months. Why?? because i have a modified car. so of course im ganna street race! NO, thats a stupid asumption to make. Cops need to get a life and pull people over that deserve it not us!!

Re:Street Race Gone Bad #2
 

Its funny you mention push for more tracks to help fight street racing. Around here everyone fights to keep tracks away or close the ones that are here.. After all seeing the race will encourage us to do it on the street. They seem to feel it will have the opposite effect as you.. I think they are wrong. Racing and competing in general is in our blood. I don't know about you guys but I have been competative since I was a little kid. I raced on bikes.. on roller blades.. on foot. Everything I did I had to win and weather it was a competition or not I had to be first. It goes much deeper that a MOVIE. or a car. I would race a stock car. When I pull up to a light I always want to be the first one pulling out.. Do I go 100mph.. NO.. I just am first.. Its subconcious.

Nothing they do will stop it.. They just need to deal.. I do think that having aggressive driving coarses mandatory and free would help alot. Most people are so scared behind the wheel they become a hazard to the rest of us.
