Street-race crash kills 7 in crowd - CNN.com
Looking at the car, its not what I was picturing.
I always have said you must be a fool to go to a street race and stand on the side of the road at a place where a group of cars is going to fly by you while racing. Many of these kids racing chave not had a DL for even a year and between the fact that many of them don't know how to handle the car at high speeds and the simple fact that most of these cars are not built for high speeds you are asking for trouble.

My god, that's awful. 
I can remember people standing like that at local stuff, and it used to scare the hell out of me.

Hell yeah, I remember standing on the side of Tyson off westshore during the domestic haydays. When looking back it amazes me that no one got hurt then, but I guarantee you this, if back then we had the kids there that are around now, there would be accidents all over the place. just my opinion.

The driver of the white sedan had been interviewed and did not appear to be seriously hurt, but a passenger was among the dead, Police Capt. Donald Frick said.

Yea... PG has a very small area that is very nice and the rest is like one giant dump. I'll actually be in PG County on Tue doing work at the new Gaylord National Hotel & Convention center. It blows my mind that they are dumping 100's of millions into the new National Development project that is part of PG county, when they can't seem to control crime.
The real issue has been that the gentrification of DC has forced them from DC to PG County and while DC crime has gone down, a direct result is that PG goes up.
PG has always been huge with street racing, the cops can never be bothered to deal with the scene when they are already over worked with the violent crimes that plauge the area.
