Happened 45 minutes from where my girlfriend lives. Keep it on the track people. One racer in custody, the other fled the scene.

That is a surprisingly old group of people for this sort of story. Beyond that, though, not terribly surprising. Hopefully the injured persons can pull through.

Someone watched way too much Street Outlaws. Seriously was expecting a 17-18 dumb kid, not a fucking 37 year old.

Read the headline. Said out loud “oh for fucks sake” Street racers give the whole car community a bad name and it just makes me angry.

It sounds like they were there to watch the racing - people need to realize that watching can easily be as dangerous as committing the act. Unfortunately several people are dead, and I’m not trying to sound dismissive of that when I state that watching dangerous acts can be as dangerous as doing them. It’s just that that’s the case.

Street racing should result in a one year license suspension and the seizure/selling off of your vehicle. Manslaughter charges if people die and the racer survives/is caught.

I did not expect the ages to be that high. Normally these things are teenagers or 20-somethings.

Look at the comments on the website, too! There are some serious burns in there! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Okay, in all seriousness, may the victims’ families be comforted after such a tragedy. My heart goes out to them.

My thoughts exactly. “What kind of 37 year old would...oh...that kind.”

What carries a harsher penalty, manslaughter or 2nd degree murder? (Honestly not sure)

Intriguing, unintelligent people in North Carolina. Shocking development.
