It's inevitable that something tragic will happen street racing, especially on crappy surfaces if combined with "I can save it" no-lift thinking.
Obviously I don't know the cause or particulars on this wreck, so it's not an accusation; but we've all seen guys who won't back out until the wreck.

I also wonder why there are parked cars at the big end, like in Tricia's wreck.
As fast as these guys are going now, maybe it's time for barriers, or at least some way to reduce rollovers and impacts.

Did he run a kind of copper-gold 240SX with an LS in it ?



Pictures of his car are in the link I posted. I follow a lot of the posts from the street outlaws on Facebook and from what I’ve read the cars parked at the finish line and other places are rental cars parked to prevent guys from hitting things more dangerous than parked cars.
