>>It obviously was too high for conditions, but 60 on the street isn’t racing, that’s commuting.
Especially in a large Florida city.
“police said had been racing side by side”
I suppose it really doesn’t matter what constitutes racing but 60 plus in a 35 and or business district where a Mom is crossing with a stroller to most normal thinking folk is racing.
LOL, gotcha.
Does it look like an old DMX/Rough Riders video?
Yeah, drugs in that one, I would say. Or 10 Red Bulls.
>>“police said had been racing side by side”
But a 0-60 race in a Mustang takes about 4 seconds and looks a lot like taking off from a stop light. So, had they been “racing” at 60 (in a 40 zone BTW—the article says that it will be changed to 35) for a while? That’s not racing. That’s just driving fast.
They were driving recklessly and speeding 20 over the limit and they killed people. Using that to create some David Hogg-like emotional response against “racing” is unnecessary. Talk about the crimes that we know happened.
Auction both of the cars and give it to the family to pay for the funeral. 10-15 years in the can should do it for these idiots.
I agree as to the smartest one. He looks like he’s at least aware of how much trouble he is in. I’d go 80, 70, 60.
That’s such a shame. Very sad.
california crushes street racing cars...too bad they don’t take illegal aliens serious.

I would guess most people who street race don't start out at 105 mph.
“Raubenolt’s uncle, John Reisinger, said he forgave the three men facing charges in the fatal crash, including both drivers and a passenger in the Mustang.”
John’s special, ain’t he.
Hopefully, the law doesn’t forgive them.
if it was your wife and child it would be a travesty not simply driving fast.
No need to respond with another Hogg analogy or any
It’s time that we had a national conversation about cars.
Blame AAA.
>>if it was your wife and child it would be a travesty not simply driving fast.
Since New Yorkers aren’t drivers, their story is skewed in a way their gun stories are skewed. Read the local coverage. She was crossing but not in a crosswalk on a busy street where speeding is common. That’s your travesty, not the ridiculous notion that a late model 435 hp Mustang GT was “racing” at 60 mph.
At the big house, these punks will soon discover new "thrills" as white ambASSadors for racial "relations".
The old rules used to be
Lookouts
And only do it late night when streets are empty
The hood here is more into the big scene donuts shocks and street scene rather than racing
It’s simply impossible to even get it going in Oaktown
Make em eat dead decaying flesh...uncooked...give them a taste of what they’ve produced by their thoughtless actions...and reimburse the family for the loss of mother and child...and go to jail..for a long time....that might stop further racers also.
.
Dreadful. RIP.
Hang the morons.

The speed limit on that road was 40mph. There wasn’t a crosswalk, but in Florida pedestrians can legally cross in certain situations without a crosswalk.
And now police are saying the car was going 102mph.
