When Street Racing Attacks

Not too graphic, but scary.

Synopsis: backroad street racing, Mustang vs. Camaro. Camaro loses control and veers into crowd of kids (just barely avoiding a Gen2 Lightning)

Thank god he missed that Lightning, I would of cried

That's why it always scares me when I see kids standing by the roadside during street racing. I always raced outside of town where the only other animal in danger was maybe an unfortunate possum on the road.

perfect example of sheer ignorance and why I dont participate this the crap. Like he could have caught him.

OBTW, that is not a Gen2 unless he replaced the bumper. Foglights are misplaced.

Stupid!

The drivers and the spectators!

What is it with Camaro 'drivers'? At the track two weeks ago and I'm in line waiting on a Camaro and Mustang(both 2001 or 2s?) to launch. They do and the Camaro is ahead by a car or two(at about the 1/8th mark) when the Camaro goes berserk! It spins--3 times barely missing both walls and the Mustang. It made 3 complete 360 degree spins and ends up heading down the track. Didn't know how to shift--I guess?

What idiots!! Perfect example as to why you stand BEHIND the cars when they go. Especially not directly along their path. Those people might as well have been the side marker lines. What the heck were they thinking!!

Stupidity should be painful.

The video wont come up for me but if it's the one I'm thinking of they take off the camaro bogs then she hit the Nitrous to try to catch up lost control and hit a dude who you see on the hood then goes in the ditch or something. if that's the one the story I heard was that the guy on the hood broke an ankle the chick was drinking but not as drunk as her boyfriend who owned the car (though I still assume both were drunk)

"Street racing" to me back home was two guys deciding to see what they'd run, going out to a deserted industrial area and lining 'em up and then clearing datum and heading back to base. I never even participated in that!

This "crowd" BS that people do today is absolutely the most stupid thing I've ever seen and it's giving the hobby a seriously bad name.
