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.

Here's a thread on the street racing board regarding the accident...

rememebr guys, no need for a forum war or anything, I just thought you'd be interested to see what went on.
