Street Racing and its outcome

[JChlupsa]

Just wanted to touch base with all dealing with Street Racing. Did we do it when we were young, I would say most or at least a high % of us did our share of street racing. This morning here in paradise, the day stayed dark for a couple of familes. At about 3:30 AM a Road Crew that was out checking and laying cones for the ZIP Lane (a lane that is moved to allow an extra rush hour lane going into Honolulu) the flat bed truck that a driver and passenger were in got rearended at approx 100 MPH with that car getting impacted by a second car of which were both said to have been drag racing with each other prior to the accident. Within seconds of the 1st impact the car and truck burstinto flames. Truck driver crawled out his window and tried to get his passenger out but could not due to the heat and the flames. Passenger died. First cars driver and passenger died on impact and flames. A person in the 2nd car also died.

Cars were both imports and I know what some are thinking young kids, got news for you the drivers were not young kids they were in the mid 20's and one driver was part of the US Army here in Hawaii.

Folks all I can say is if you or any friends have young kids that drive and are into the road race game remind them that the drag strips usually have a street night and please take use of them.
