Why dont people post articles of Speeding accidents? They are way more common and Since no one on this board street races or ever street raced, would be more benificial in perhaps getting people to slow down!!

ARE YOU SERIOUS?
There are WAY more people speeding than there are street racing. The numbers are astronomically different. That's exactly why the numbers are the way they are. It's because of a large population size. Street racing gets press because it's typically a catastropic accident with flips, fire, swerving, and recklessness coupled with excessive speeding and an arrogance regarding control of a vehicle.
Doing a steady 80 in a 65 is one thing, but the kinetics dynamics of a car racing down the highway are very different. Different enough to make street racing more dangerous then speeding since there are so many more variables in the equation.
