I don't mind people driving fast...in fact I'm willing to bet many if not
most of the people on this list have seen the north side of 100. But most of
us do it with an open road ahead of us, in the daytime, when we can see a
long way.

It's racing on the street that's stupid. And are you willing to believe that
our two friends are going to leave it at one quick burst of speed?

Nope.

Come on. Side by side racing on public streets is STUPID. Things happen
awfully quickly at 100+, and these guys are going to do it at night. You
don't have much room for error here, and the guy next to you is just as
likely to need a little extra room.

Oops. Bang. Good night. Darwin gets a twofer.
