My question is, how do we introduce appropriate avenues of racing to them? I suspect there's no coolness to be found in autox, track days and such, whereas street racing is thrilling and dangerous and earns them the respect of their peers. It's too bad though, when things like this happen.

17 y/o, what a freaking shame. My son John was telling me he went over to Circuit City last week, where some New Era guys were, among others, running in a street race until everyone was told to leave - quick. He had heard 2 racers got in an accident when a 3rd driver from a side street ran a redlight, and ran into them. It sounds like the same incident.
