Drag Week is very cool

Is that right? Well that is very cool. Does he roll into the pits, tech, air down, throw on a helmet and run? What cage is in it? Again, I am nothing but impressed with what these guys do. Its very impressive and just damn cool. To call them street cars, well it just doesn't jive with me.

I know Larry Larson is looking to crack into the 5's this year. Not a typo.

I think he de-tunes the car a lot for the street and then changes it at the track.

He runs alcohol at the track, swaps doors, removes the street fuel cell, etc etc. Its damn impressive but its not a street car/truck. It obviously meets the criteria for the class and is damn awesome.

it's insane what he does.

I think that is getting a bit far outside the spirit of the original idea of the competition. I know for years guys have had two fuel cells in the car, I even know some local racers that do this, but to switch out the cell and doors and whatever else is excessive.

Apparently not if he isn't getting dq'ed

Well...

I think it's innovative and within the no support vehicle rules.

Wow, see post 37.....

im not trying to condone street racing or anything by saying this and this is going to sound rather heartless. but the two people that died and the person that got hurt are more responsible for their deaths or injuries then this guy. they chose to stand in an area where they knew the risks. their deaths is because of their own mistakes and stupidity.

I agree. What the hell happen to personal responsibility. If you read through the comments almost everyone is looking for someone else to blame. I love the comment Linda Carter makes.

Proof the were spectators and not people walking home from work?

The draw of street racing is the added level of danger. When danger is the attraction and something goes wrong, regardless of how tragically, it shouldn't really surprise anyone.

Unfortunately the TMZ site is blocked here at work so I can see the comments. I did find it odd that one of the articles that came up on google said the police didn't think Izzy was driving but that he was the promoter of the event with another guy. Promoter of a street race? Every one of those guys i know goes out of their way to avoid anyone knowing whats going on, or at minimum avoid them knowing where its going on.

The article I linked in post 37 claims they were spectators in the opening sentence.

Claims....I understand why they were most likely there. But to blame them more than the driver of the car is different.... Were they wearing nascar style "la street racer" tee shirts? They are dead and can't speak to why they were there

They have the clip in the beginning.

Post arrest article. Mustang "driver"'s attorney claims he wasn't even driving....

id blame them more than the racer for it, that be like going a shooting range and watching from the side 20 yards out. always that chance you can get mowed over. why i hate being up top for that reason.

I guess Izzy wasn't driving, rather running the race. Don't watch the vid, its retarded.

Horrible analogy...

And the racers have to have the most blame. No one would "spectate" an empty stretch of road

The ultimate responsibility is with the drivers. Don't try to deflect that responsibility.

its funny to see so many people coming out and saying ''take it to the track, keep it off the street'' yet they support this show Street Outlawz. I wonder if the NHRA comes out of this smelling like roses now.

This quote blows my mind:

Thats a little absurd.

this is the same state that will crush your car if caught racing enough :D
