Yep, that was My friend's car. He sold it just a few months ago. First thing he did was call his lawyer and make sure the title was transferred. Tx2k is a mess. I can't say like most times this isn't real street racing, it was and very sad. It does happen, and cars keep getting faster. Kyle, who owned the car said it was too fast for the street. But Ronnie has always ran cars too fast for the street, and like father like son. First time another friend saw Ronnie on the street he said it was the fastest thing he'd ever seen.

When I saw the funny car style cage in the pictures when it was wrecked I knew it was probably flying, and should not be on the street.

Street racing is fun but stupid when you are 16-17 years old, then you're supposed to grow up.

I'm not sure I'm at liberty to say, so I'll say 5's-ish 1/8th mile. My friend's brother's car racing a car you might recognize. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE6UYlzxdA0

I think you're correct.

Driver? What about the people that he ran over? Maybe life crippled or worse. Ignorance all around. Driver and spectators.

I've seen enough drivers do stupid things to know you can't fix stupid (or testosterone levels) by engaging with them or encouraging a race. If you really want to shut a guy down, bet him to race at the track and dare him to show up. Otherwise, let them go - eventually they'll hopefully realize they were acting really stupid. With the easy available HP nowadays nobody should be street racing period - "legend" or not because sh** happens and can happen very quickly.

Street racing (with Pro Mod type HP) is stupid......keep it on the track.

What’s wrong with Piggly Wiggly and potted meat? FYI....the nearest PW to Columbus, IN (where AQ resides) is in eastern TN(5 hours away).
