Another reason not to street race

You're right, I'd rather spend the rest of my life like my buddy, who was a 26 year old firefighter here in Los Angeles, until a drunk driver slammed into him who was RACING another guy, and who now has mild brain stem damage.
He should be just fine, using his whole hand to feed himself, and a walker to get around.
Nice guy, you should meet him and tell him all about how you are such a brave street racer.

My buddy is f'ed up because a foxbody lost it and came in his lane at tht track. Accidents can happen anywhere.

atleast that guy told the cops he was racing another car

Accidents can happen anywhere, but PEOPLE ON A TRACK ARE THERE FOR A REASON.

Here's a nice story to go with that asanine argument:

SANTA ANA – A weeping grandfather struggled to his feet in an 11th-floor courtroom this morning seconds after a judge sentenced his grandson to six years in prison for causing the death of a 10-year-year-old girl in a street racing tragedy two years ago. Mohammed Dakhil hobbled across the aisle using a cane and cried out to the family and friends of victim Kylee McGowen, "I apologize! I apologize! I apologize!"

A teary-eyed Judy McGowen, Kylee's grandmother who had moments before called for defendant Ahmed Shakir Dakhil to "take responsibility for the great pain" he had caused, got up from her seat in the gallery and said she accepted the apology.

And then the two grandparents hugged in the aisle while family members on both sides of the courtroom wept.

Superior Court Judge James A. Stotler, who was still in the middle of the sentencing hearing when Mohammed Dakhil stood up, remained quiet during the emotional interruption.

The judge then finished his sentencing, commenting that Ahmed Dakhil's erratic driving had caused "all this pain and shattered lives."

Ahmed Dakhil pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter. He was racing another driver on Fountain Valley streets on Aug. 25, 2005, when he slammed his Nissan 240SX into a Ford Mustang driven by Kylee's aunt. Kylee was killed. Her aunt and two other children were seriously injured.

Ahmed Dakhil, who had four previous speeding convictions before his arrest in Kylee's death, also apologized to Kylee's family before he was handcuffed in the courtroom and escorted to a holding cell.
