wtf?! What do you mean you couldn't tell if it had it's lights on or not?! all the fucking witnesses said he didn't have his lights on!!
I don't think the guy should go away without any charges... It's not THAT hard to see a bunch of people in the middle of the road. In racing there isn't going to be THAT much smoke to where you can't see anything.
Then they're going to try and attack the racers. I'm willing to bet that if they find the racers they're going to try and pin this on them... I hate the shit we get for being car people...
I'm not at all trying to say it's okay to street race, but I am saying idiots that don't have their lights on driving into a foggy area probably shouldn't be going 55-60 mph.....

For real! It's not hard to confirm with so many witnesses. Plus hardly anyone saw the car coming??? You would see a car coming down the highway with it's lights pointed right at you. I think there is a combo of nobody paying much attention (especially the driver) as well as not having his headlights on.

UUUHHHH-OOOOHHHHHHH...!!!
Where'd ya read that? I didn't see that in the article.
How was it the fault of the "dumbass" who was "driving on the wrong stretch of road, at the wrong time?" lol That's silly to say something like that. Highways are for cars, not a show. We all know that.
You don't think street racing played any role in this at all? IMO, if there hadn't been people roaming on a HIGHWAY (which I think is freakin' dumb as hell in the first place, isolated or not) in the dark, maybe that car would have just flown off the embankment because he might not have been paying attention to the road. Granted that driver should definitely have been more cautious and had his lights on, but when I'm driving down a highway, I don't automatically assume, "Well shit, I better slow down. Never know when a group of 50 people or so are gonna be in the road!" Know what I mean? You can't be prepared for something like that.
What's the point in pointing fingers and playing he-said she-said when we weren't even there? Unless one of you were at the scene personally, I don't think you can be sure what the conditions were like and who's really to blame in the end. Be fair and open-minded.
It's easy for people to get upset when they hear stories like this based on the stereotypes and everything the media puts out there about hobbyists, cars, and racing, but you can't always let little things like that get to you. There are always going to be people who'll automatically blame the car enthusiasts. At the same time, the enthusiasts might always blame the person who just happened to be there when something was going on. It goes both ways.
Was the situation unfortunate? Yes. It was a fucking tragedy. In the end, does it really matter whose fault it is to you all that much? I'm just saying that it's hard to decide who was right and wrong in a situation like this. It's VERY unfortunate. It was probably preventable, too.
My heart goes out to the families.
