Just FYI - An accident here in Central california at a well-attended street race led to the death of one bystander and injuries to four more.
There was an off-duty FCSO deputy sheriff there as a spectator. He has since been terminated by his department, and is being held both criminally and civilly liable for the fact he stood by and did not stop a crime in progress. His department is also being sued by the familiy of the dead youth.
Street racing is beginning to take on the same negative condonation as smoking in public and gun ownership. Just not very popular right now.

Back on subject, I'm curious when fastassroush will come back on here with an explanation as to what he was driving.

I have got to say this
I see the Soap Oprea continues, Maxtorque02 you and I would do good drinking together, when I' am drunk I' am notorious for instigateing fights and as is always succusful in getting one going and walking away with a laugh.
It appears to me you and some other people on this forum don' t need to be drunk to start contraversy. Perhaps sometimes people blow things out of porportion a little, and after you sit down and go through discoveries in your mind there may of been some extrodonary events that may of taken place. Remember it said, "the Cops didn' t get him because of hills or turns perhaps". Before you or any of you other habitual flamers look for errors or loop holes in a story, sit down and think of what you are about to post, Will it offend anybody? Does it have derogitory or slanderious content in your post. If you don't think before you type or speak it could come back on you later.

Prosecutor:"Officer Smith, where were you when you observed the rape being commited?"
Smith: "About 15 to 20 feet away."
Prosecutor: "Yet you did nothing to stop it? You just observed?"
Smith:"You see, my shift ended at 4pm. I looked at my watch and it was 4:07"

Bad things happen...people street race, people attempt to outrun the police, people drive under the influence, some play with guns, others light fires.
We are human...we are flawed. It will never be a perfectly safe world...no matter how many bleeding hearts saturate it.
I know its a free board & all, and opinions will be expressed...but I think if someone posts about something like this, the people that dig it should post accordingly and those that do not condone it should just leave it be ya know. Maybe we could snuff out the whole "Henhouse/chicken coupe effect" we seem to get with these threads. Lots of squalking and no real outcome. I know there are the argumentative few that will refuse to leave well enough alone, but.....ahh...nevermind..I might as well be talkin to the wall..

Having mopped up my share of accidents, I have a few thoughts on this.
Everybody (and I do mean everybody) who has NOT been involved in a race-related accident will say with total certainty that they race only when sober, only when there are no other cars around, and have raced professionally for many years.........and never had an accident (yet)
Professional drivers running on closed tracks with other professionals have accidents every day, and professional drivers get killed every day, so I don't think being a professional has much to do with it.
All I know is that when I go out on the freeway (or any street) with my family, I don't want to be a victim of some joker who thinks he can avoid a collision at 100 mph................if Mark Martin can't do it, don't think you can either. It's the unexpected that causes the accident, and all of your good intentions go out the window when another driver turns in front of you, pulls out in front of you or a dog runs in front of you, etc. etc. etc.
Once you have to take evasive action to avoid a collision, logic and sober thoughts go out the window. Drivers lock up brakes, swerve and plow into anything and everything in their way ala NASCAR...........the dynamics of an auto collision are messy and unpredictable, other than the fact that they happen every day, despite the fact the participants are sober, well intentioned professional drivers.
Just my 2 cents worth.............and yes, sometimes I do it too, but only when I'm sober and I am (was) a certified EVOC trainer for many years with literally 100's of hours spent behind the wheel chasing others, and being chased.

Except with that outlook you wouldn't want to drive at all because traffic accidents between sober, non-speeding people happen everyday too.

This was just my two cents worth guys, not a sermon from a soap box.
