Re: another street racer takes himself off the planet
Sort of a similar story... did anyone hear of the teen who went drag racing in his brand new M5? He was on a run way of sorts, hit the embankment at the end of the runway, flew 200 feet until he hit a tree killing him and his 3 passengers? I cannot find the link now... this is going to bother me...

Re: another street racer takes himself off the planet
A good argument for keeping open and/or building drag strips for people to use. Take the track away and this will happen more often

Re: another street racer takes himself off the planet
Guy has a wife and kids at home and is out street racing at 1:30am? Amazing. Don't even want to begin the long list of what is wrong with this.

Re: another street racer takes himself off the planet
I posted this on Sunday. Sad story of rich kid killing his four buds plus himself.
https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/show...e/1#Post314678 I did the math, (why I don't know), and if you leave an 85' berm, travel 200' and hit a tree 15' above the ground, the car had to be going about 140 mph. Give or take. The car left the berm going sideways, so it did a couple of 360s before impact. Absolutly horrifying.  The wreck in Columbus was just outside the outerbelt, about 5 miles from downtown. Why a man with a family would be so reckless is beyond my understanding. My thoughts and prayers to his widow, as well as the 5 families in FL.
