Look I don't think street racing is the great evil that will be the downfall of modern civilization like the press will have you believe. It's been going on since one caveman discovered that his new "round" wheel was faster than the square rock his fellow cave
dwellers used.
But there is a HUGE difference RACING in town or a heavily populated area just after dark with no headlights on. Than going out to some deserted country road at 2 in the morning. Nor was this a simple 1/16 of a mile red light to red light. How fast would they have gotten if they would not have hit the girl? Would it have been different if they had reached 140 before hitting her? I will reiterate what I said before if these guys were a couple of teenagers who just happen to pull up at a red light........ But these were GROWN DAM MEN who through what I read met there for the sole purpose of racing, If you are going to plan to race why not at the track?
If it were my little girl the words "drug into the street and shot" come to mind.
