LOS ANGELES - Police in Van Nuys arrested 11 people in connection with street racing and plan to destroy the two of cars seized from racers, police said Wednesday.

"When we tell them if they race here, we're going to crush their cars, it gets their attention," Los Angeles police Detective Robert Graybill said.

"And that's all we want to do," Graybill said. "We want these kids to enjoy their cars ... have a good time, but we want them to be safe and we don't want to lose any kids like we recently have."

Police found 35 carloads of people assembled for races in the 8000 block of Haskell Avenue Tuesday night.

Two Ford Mustangs were confiscated, it was reported. On Friday, two Village Christian School seniors were killed in a high-speed, head-on collision police have blamed on racing.

The Chevrolet Camaro Nicholas Roth and Christopher Oliver, both 17, were riding in was going roughly 90 mph when it crossed onto the wrong side of La Tuna Canyon Road and struck a pickup truck head-on about 2:15 p.m. that day, police said.

That same day, a Pasadena High School student died in a crash adjacent the campus.
