Street Racing risks
Sad news and why I do little street racing and am very selective about where and when I do even that.
You can rev at me all day in your ricer, Camaro or whatever and you won't get a race unless I know the road, it's empty and there are no driveways, alleys or other places where someone could innocently pull out in front of us while we're doing 80, 90 or 100 mph. No thanks. I had a few 'close one's' and got smart before I got killed or ruined my life by killing someone else.
I still street race, but only when I feel comfortable doing it and that isn't often. It's risky and mostly just not worth it to 'show' some stranger you'll never see again that you can beat him.
This kind of tragic death - for nothing - once again proves the point. You do something like this - kill a guy on a bike - while street racing, which is legally indefensible - you're toast and you can kiss all your big life plans goodbye. Even if you get away, you'll have the heavy guilt on your shoulders and be looking over them for the rest of your life. No thanks. I'll race you at the track.
