Anyone caught racing on a public road should be arrested, fined,and have their car taken and sold, Also they should have their licence taken for no less than 5 years....Just my opinion.Second offense should be no less than 1 year active jail time..

I'm sure he made a lot of friends when he did that. One little mistake would have been one big accident.

Thats not drag racing.
Thats street racing.
If you want to Drag race go to the track.
I used to street race,but I grew up.
I seen some bad things happen when we thought know one was around.

Yeah I always thought drag and street racing were virtually the same thing, but I see they arent!

As for going to the track, thats not always an option, there isnt a track at every town, unfortunatly!

Hey, there are two villages calling...They need their idiots back! I just do not get the "thrill" of almost killing yourself in this manner and taking another person with your stupid behavior. I think that they should go and see the effects of their actions by viewing the Medical Examiner for a day.

I wonder why when some of these videos surface, that the cops dont get ahold of them, try to get some plate numbers and punish some of these guys.

I dont think the vid was made in the USA.
Heres a link for you preppypyro
http://www.northwestracer.com/links/nwtracks.html
I see alot of Western Canada Race Tracks.
Also alot in the Washington area.
If you got involved in dragracing you would see there is a big difference.
When you Dragrace the only people you put in danger is yourself and your fellow racers.
The Track will make sure your car or truck is safe.
To me its the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
Dont mean to be a butthole butt....
As a Racer I get insulted when someone calls street racing dragracing.
Alot of people worked hard to get racing off the streets,clean up its image and have a venue to race thats as safe as possible.

That may have been some of the craziest driving I've ever seen! These guys need drug out of their cars and beat.

I've heard of a couple verified instances where guys took video of speeding and got caught after the videos were posted/sold. I think both cases were in the UK though.

One was fairly recent within a month or so and the other was a maybe 5 or more years ago.

Cops can't touch 'em from a video, at least not in Kansas.

I remember hearing about the guy going really fast in the lamborgini, videoing it and not getting caught.

Seems odd that video evidence would not be able to convict someone...
