I have a few friends that street race and they know EXACTLY where I stand on this topic, so my opinion won't be a shock to them. But seriously, who cares what shape the driver is in? As long as its not good, its fine by me. The poor lady that died's family is the one everyone should be concerned with. Little assholes that think street racing is ok, are no better than a worthless street junkie waiting to hit the next crack pipe. They seem to have about the same will-power. The funny part is these same people keep saying "we do it in a safe area where there isn't any cross traffic".....Well, that car is like a bullet when drag racing, and unfortunately stopping a bullet isn't very easy. It typically destroys everything in its path. On that note, if you think a car that is traveling ~100+mph is going to stop very well if it loses control, think again. Buildings, homes, etc., now become prime targets, and just because you think nobody is inside them, doesn't necessarily mean its true. My favorite part is when I hear these "street racers" say, its caged....Yeah, its a ROLL cage, not impalement cage, not blunt impact cage, not telephone poll cage, not fire hydrant cage, etc. They are not designed to keep you from dying in a street environment, in fact they will likely help kill you in the case of an accident.
So with all the risks involved....why do it? Is the thrill that good that its worth risking the lives and wellbeing of the innocent? My suggestion is go hunt for more pussy! A nice overwhelming assorment of ass is always a great way to pass the time. It sure beats the hell out of hanging around a bunch of dudes for hours on end to wait for a couple of future world leaders to have a dick measuring contest on the street.
Also, assuming a location is vacant does not justify such careless behavior.
