Default Re: Drag race goes badly and kills innocent girl

When I was a kid street racing was the thing. Every night you would ride around looking for competition. You ran 4.88's or 5.13's because most of the races were stop light to stop light. Rarely did you hit third gear. If you hit 70 mph you were flying! The congestion and traffic that exists today was nonexistent back then.
The big races were run on connecting highway, the conduit or past the park lands south of Pizza City and the Bow Wow. These roads were either temporarily blocked or totally deserted.
Today anyone driving at that rate of speed on a busy public road is a madman and deserves lengthy jail time and worse. Unfortunately in today's blameless society youngsters fail to contemplate the consequences of their actions and wind up in situations such as this.
