Very true... Although I did street race too in my younger years, it was always out in the boonies... still at least two lives were in danger. Tragedies like this are a sad part of the current musclecar revival, and it is probably only a matter of time before governments step in.
Also alarming are the new crop of "top-enders" who feel compelled to "see how fast she'll go" on public roads. As I posted in the following thread, there is no walking away from a 150-170 MPH crash... it does not matter if it was caused by lack of driver skills, road conditions, a wind gust, or whatever other hazzard... you are just as dead!

The current crop of musclecars have the power, but not the suspension or aerodynamic qualities to go 150+ MPH. If you are thinking about doing it, are you prepared to pay the price... or worse, look another family in the eyes and explain why their loved one is dead...?
Just my thoughts on the matter...
