Im glad that both of them crashed, and didnt hurt anyone else. Street racers are a special kind of dirtbag.

That is a good example of high performance cars with low performance drivers.

I hope they both lose their license, as well as get booted from their insurance companies (racing should negate any claims). Hopefully someone gave the video to each of their insurance companies! I have no respect for people that race on the street. There are tracks all over the place, as well as autocross courses to race on; they could have easily killed someone.

Maybe you guys above can throw stones, but I cannot.
Not at all saying that it is ok and that should not have happened, but I am not innocent like y'all must be. I have done the same thing in the past, but thankfully the Lord has protected me from "stupid" many times till I learned there is a time and place. Guess you guys learned that earlier than most.

My Stones is what would get me in trouble...
It is my Brains that better keep me out of trouble...
I have had my Car 28 years, and I have been very bad in the past.
As we get older, we need to find the place to get on it, not because somebody tried to push my buttons..
Someone at EVERY light wants a piece of me...
It is my job to be responsible...And I better be...

I still have a hard time seeing how people screw up that badly on a straight, flat piece of ground.

I always laughed at some of the mustang weenies in the 80's-90's and how they always tried to yank the wheel a little when they shifted gears.....makes it feel faster I guess!! LOL. May have been the same thing here.

Just looking at the wheels on the C5, I could tell the driver was an idiot!
I just hate it when the media uses the term "Drag Racing" to describe this.
They are not drag racing, they are street racing. Drag Racing take place on a Drag Strip, which most, (at least any I will race at) have taken many steps to ensure the saftey of the particapents and the spectators.
Wonder what made the driver decode to get out his camara and film this?1971 Camaro 427 in waiting

Unfortunatly this is a world wide problem. Only last week we had a couple of guys drag racing when 1 lost control and hit a tree and ended up dead a couple days later. What made it worse was that the guy that survived had a 3 year old kid in his car. This was at approx 11pm.

Well, it seems that the Corvette drivers got in trouble over the video.
