I am starting to loose my sorrow for people who die doing this. It sucks still but it's getting to be like, ok whatever. I know most of us are all guilty of streetracing at one point, everyone knows it is not the right thing to do and they don't think about death. One wrong move and you can crash and/or die. It doesn't even have to be your fault, the other guy could F-UP. All the racing accidents I have witnessed were bystandards pulling out infront of the racing party or some other 3rd party was involved. I feel sorry for persons who die and are not apart of the race in anyform, but for people to do it, watching, etc. You should know that death is possible and if doing it is worth death than do it and if you should die then that is what you get. If I should ever die from streetracing, (not that I make it a point to go and do this) then do not feel sorry for me, I know the risks and others should too.

I do not mean to offend anyone, but the streetracing scene has gotten to large and the more dumbass people that show up to these races, the more likley chance of an accident everyone should know better by now. For thoes of you who go out on weekends streetracing, you know you see people do the dumbest **** for no reason, they just think they are cool, especially thoes damn ruff ryders. They are the worst, don't even get me started on that ISH.

Keep it on a track. If you don't have a track near by, then get involved with your local community and petition that stuff. Make it happen. The Govt may be slow but if your down with the hobby you'll do it for years and years to come.

Sorry to rant.

Idiot riceboys abound in MD/DC/VA area ......... no remorse here, except that it should have been the driver that got killed, not the passenger ........... for the passenger's family ...........

Sad in deed!

Why is this in the ITR forum? It's not related, and I'm pretty sure the majority of us don't street race....

Street Racing was never cool and we should have never ever given our sympathy to those who put other peoples' lives at stake with their stupidity. to all street racers.

Will you guys please stop calling it street racing!!! It's NOT F*CKING Street racing! It's just a pair of unfortunate stunnas that met with Darwin. Street racing, although dangerous is something different altogether.

"Witnesses told Montgomery County Police they saw two cars turn off of Georgia Avenue onto Norbeck Road, stop at a red light at Muncaster Mill Road, and when the light turned green, took off at a high speed. One of the cars hit the median and crashed into two trees, killing Ricardo Medrano. He was a passenger in the car driven by Keven Rizkallah of Silver Spring. Rizkallah is in critical condition. The driver of the second vehicle, identified as 21-year-old Anthony Talavera of Olney, allegedly fled the scene. As of Sunday evening, no charges had been filed, but police were continuing their investigation."

Sounds like street racing to me.
