Oh well.....
It is too bad that even though the bystanders knew the risks they will probably sue the car owner, the driver and, if the driver was underage, the parents. Probably also sue the driver and the owner and maybe parents of the car which raced the camaro.

Thanks....

(I have latest version of WMP)

It works if I download it (which I have always avoided doing...much prefering to view only clips if they play automatically in the link).

Good to know.

works for me.....

I learned my lesson a few years ago about watching street racing from 1/2 down the "street"

Both car's launched, one hit the nitrous and shot across 5 lanes, straightened it out and hit it again and jumped back across 4 lanes, headlights were pinted right at me.

After talking to the guy, he said the front suspension was really really tight and once the weight shifted to hte back, he couldn't steer. I told him he might want to fix that

Thumbs up

You wouldn't happen to have a MAC would you? I do, and 40% of the videos I try to watch do that. Quicktime is better anyway,,,,98

After viewing the video with brightness and contrast adjustments, I didn't see any bodies flying. Although not absolute, it does not appear that anyone was hit.

If anyone did get hit....well, it's Darwin Award time. Tragic on one level...cleaning out the gene pool on another...

What do you want to bet no one learned a lesson from this little event.

It's stupid to race like that, even more stupid to be standing in the open in the path of the cars. Sorry, but no sympathy here for idiots.

If you're gonna race, keep it at the track.

The person who is hit, slides off the hood after being hit when the car fishtails and heads in the opposite horizontal direction.

UPON further review, I have found that the guy does stay on the hood the whole time until the car finally crashes. Screen cuts comming soon.
