Just a post hoping everything comes out ok for you. I'll say a prayer.

Quest for speed is staying ahead of police Bethlehem authorities think racing caused crash -- themorningcall.com

Good piont,

Wow, that's too bad. Good luck and get better soon.

I really hope he gets well soon and I'm glad no one else was hurt.

I have to say, I'm a bit annoyed at the fanaticism of that article. "He had bald rear tires so he must have been drifting!" I can't possibly be something like the rears wear out 3 times as fast with normal driving or anything, right? I don't know the details, but like around here, if a young person ever has an accident in a sporty car, it's always racing. Maybe it was, I dunno, but the news outlets are quick to play that card regardless. At any rate, everyone be careful out there.

I also thought that part of the article was annoying. Annoying that they would write that even without verification.

Yea, that's exactly what I was thinking when I came across that part of the article. I just swapped out my rear tires because they were balding, and the fronts still have more than 50% tread. Granted, I did autoX and some track days, but these media guys would be quick to call me a "racer" with all that negative connotation.

I like their quote,
''If you are a parent and you see your kid has a fire extinguisher and harness in their car, it's time to have a talk with them before they wrap themselves around a pole,'' he said. ''It's no different than finding a pot pipe in your kid's pants."
So I guess prepping my car for sanctioned competition would put me on the same level as a pot-head. Hooray for journalism.

You know, it sucks that the guy is hurt, I hope he gets better.

But, in all fairness, it seems pretty obvious that in THIS case, it was street racing. It stinks that I get harrassed by cops because of my car because other kids are racing illegaly. I've worn out my rear tires too, and I noticed a big difference in traction, so this guy was not only reckless but also foolish racing without basic safety gear, like proper tires.

Josh,
Thanks for your thoughts and sending me your comments below.



I did speak with some of Angel’s family members and told them what police have so far concluded, but none were willing to speak to me on the record.



I can also tell you, not every detail about the police investigation was included in this article. Police have even more evidence now that points to a race happening at the time of the crash. These include witnesses from a nearby hotel and video surveillance.

legal racing isn't that hard to get into... and when you consider the actual costs of something like this happening...
