Illegal Drag Racing is Huge
It might come as a surprise; but a few heartless people who called our newsroom Saturday night expressed little sympathy for the eight people who were killed in that drag racing tragedy.
Yes, It was an illegal event, stagged on an open section of highway 210 in the whee hours of the morning.
Men, women and even children were there, standing on the side of the roadway, and further back on top of their vans for a good view; This pastime which didn't seem to harm anyone, until now has been going on "ever since I was a kid", according to one participant who was there Saturday morning.
It's a poor man's Indy five hundred or Nascar. "Police have tried to shut it down ", says my source; but they just keep moving it around.
It's worldwide, apparently. check out the youtube video of a drag race and notice how close the spectators are to the action with no barriers...

Mr. Johnson how can you say that those that feel no sympathy for those who were either hurt or killed are HEARTLESS. How about the spectators and participants they knew what they were engaging in and they knew it was illegal. The price they paid is a direct result of their participation in this illegal activity. your reports clearly documents the blatant disregard of the law(s) these people engage in. As I have posted on other articles above Thank God that there were no law abiding motorists on that road or then there would have actually been victims and then this would have been a tradgedy.
