Just thought I'd put a little perspective on it since this happened to be a ss/sc that did it.

 

repost... /thread

 

Repost

 

didn't realize it was a repost, just found out about it tonight as it was on our local news.

 

Whoa!! And its not the fact that he made those alterations to his car that made him drive so fast and be stupid about it. He woulda still been doing that even if it was stock.

 

I fear that there are many kids/Ya'll doing this out there.....but yall are cool so its all okay...not...keep it on the closed track guys...You have no idea what its like to go through a severe motor crash,especially when your the victim...it does not end after impact.. the physical and emotional scarring is always there...I have been there, its far from fun.....

drive safe.

 

the victims were old and going to die soon anyway...

Yes, that was a terrible joke. This is why dumb people shouldnt be allowed to drive. I wouldnt be surprised if this kid had a bad driving record and all of this could have been avoided by taking his license sooner.


Stupid kid. Such a waste of life.

 

there is a difference between ORGANIZED street racing and getting out on the highway or light to light


I don't race on the highway or light to light, not saying I won't do a run on the highway if there is PLENTY of room but its rare and never "planned"...

now as far as racing in a set location out where there is NO traffic, like for example an industrial park on a Saturday night, I don't see a problem with it...

and if they'd STOP closing drag strips because of noise ordinances, etc. they would probably help cut down on that, I know we've had 3 drag strips shut down within 100 miles of me in the last 2 years because of new "regulations"

its like law makers want to get out and preach to the choir about stopping street racing, then pass sanctions against drag strips making it hard for them to operate.... amazing how that works

now our "location"... well 1st off, the police know about it, why? people have been racing there for the last 25 years most of the cops here grew up racing out there... its all cotton fields, both sides of the road... 7 miles long(straight), NO access roads... just a lot of flat farm land... one person has been killed there in the last 25 years, and the moron had already won the race through the 1/4, decided to I guess try to "top his car out" and ended up losing control at about 135+ WAY on down the road... now, we have had minor little accidents, someone getting sideways off the line, etc. but nothing major... but as I said, even the cops don't mess with us, they'd MUCH rather us be out there racing than in town, and who can blame them

so IMO:

racing in town or around INNOCENT motorist=bad

"organized" street racing on abandoned roads=/=bad... I mean if an "innocent" car was to come up on us, we could see them coming WAY down the road

 

hmm this ss/sc was equipped with an upgrade "turbo-boost"

 

well thanks for endangering lives.....your breaking the law either way.

Im sure this kid had your thought process...your in your 20's right?

 

yes endangering HUNDREDS of lives at 2:30 in the morning on a deserted road, my god the humanity...

as I stated racing in PUBLIC, I have a problem with that, I don't do that.... and if we had a drag strip open Friday or Saturday, this would NOT be a problem here... we had one for years, they had a Midnight Madness street race EVERY Friday and Saturday, guess what, the spot we now race at: was deserted back then... no one went... why would you? you could pay $10, race from 8:00p.m. until 3 in the morning, with a prepped track... they made a killing doing it....

then the new subdivision went in next to the track, the developer was on the city council, sanctions were passed on the track where it couldn't operate after 11:00p.m., midnight madness was dead... that wasn't enough, they then passed sanctions that mufflers HAD to be ran on the track at all times due to noise, even during the day... that cause ORSCA to cancel their races with the track along with all other big races.. track couldn't stay open just doing "test and tunes" with street cars... track closes

our spot now has anywhere from 50-75 cars a weekend(during the summer), the city caused that

people are going to race, so long as there are cars, people are going to make them faster and people are going to want to be better at it than the next guy... that is human nature

we can do it the legal or ILLEGAL way, our city decided they want us to do it the illegal way apparently

that kid did not have our thought process, that kid was doing 130mph with TRAFFIC around unaware of his surroundings... hence organized street racing with spotters and flaggers vs. unorganized spur of the moment street racing

 

I hope he gets life in prison and gets locked up with the sodomites

 

"The vehicle was also equiped with a turbo-boost which was altered."
someone needs to reasearch before they write....

Whats "a turbo-boost?" I want one so I can alter it.

 

Wow. This is horrible. I always drive the speed limit.

Drag strip is okay though.

 

Intel has one on their new i5 & i7 cpu's
just had to say it

 

so is this a part out?

i got dibs on the Recaros

sucks that he killed his gf and the fact the old folks were burn alive THATS METAL
SO BRUTAL

 

would be nice if i could have those seats tho
and sucks man
lol he had a turbo-boost altered ohhhhh nooooo and i bet they pulled out infront of him

 

maybe those old people had some sick twisted fantasy and took the chance to ruin that cobalt

 

street racing is stupid but this is still a kid........... life in prison because of him killing someone buy a very stupid mistake is cruel buddy. Imagine if he was your son would you say the samething. If this crashed woulda happened at 75mph and he only ran the intersection it would have had the same outcome, but we wouldnt be seeing this posted on these forums

sidenot:im glad i drive a cobalt these things seem to be really safe in extremly bad crashes

 

uhhhh so whens the part out thread for this car going to start.hahaha

 

I have noticed this too. In all the wrecks I've seen involving them on here and elsewhere, it seems like everyone survives with not too serious injuries. It makes me feel safe in my car, even though it's so small compared to the truck i used to have, knowing that they hold up so well in a crash.

 

only thing i hate about the guy talking is his attitude toward cars, who gives a **** if he modded the car. that didnt make him do 130 across a intersection.

 

"The youngest victim was Ferguson’s girlfriend and passenger, 18-year-old Kayla Ann Pratorius of Magnolia."

 

damn that thing got fucked up. can I has the back bumper and whatever this turbo-boost is though?

 

he's still got 3 good rims and tires. Wonder if he would sell them? hmmmmm..............
