Street racing kills two in a 2010 Camaro
Well, we have a track in our town that has street legals every Friday, which is to help curb street racing but it didn't help in this case:

:(
This is what happens when people drive at excessive speeds on public roads, most the time driving way beyond what their actual skills would allow. Last edited by Sax1031; 07-18-2010 at 01:27 PM. |

Especially in the area they did it in. There is a hill right at the beginning of the street (which is what caused him to go airborne) and then it's got lots of side streets and turns. Idiots.

Nothing to see really in the picture:
Also, they were my sister's friends apparently. |

One was born in 1988 and the other '89, so they were both really young.

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! http://www.challengertalk.com/forums...ets-see-31985/ 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... XS

Completely disagree.
No offense to you, lil chef...but... People of all ages street race. Young AND old. The only thing people gain with time is experience and sensability (which is why insurance companies lower rates by 25 years old...the human brain...taking risks, etc). However, older folks still do it too. FACT. THIS is why we don't allow the street racing stories on our boards. Someone sees a story, wants to share another story, another person sees it, wants to top it, try it, next thing you know, everyone is trying to top another persons story about street racing. We won't allow street racing stories on our boards....PERIOD. Track stories all you want. Street? NO. THIS IS WHY. Perfect example of what could happen if you decide to street race. Now...I wonder if either of those two were members here on our boards... |

Sad. How many Camaro-related fatalities since its release? Owners, show some restraint..leave it on the track! I personally do not want my premiums to go up due to this car being a nationally high risk vehicle!:(

according to mercuryman96 there was only 2 camaros there that day his and Heliwrench and both of them didn't street race that day so i think the car is mixed up with a different one.
we talked about it in this thread http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...t=69326&page=3 |
