Default Bad News : Street Racing

I know I haven't posted in a while, but this is important and I hope you guys take it to heart.

Sunday morning around 1:20 my cousin, Kenny Thompson, was killed in a car accident in Nacogdoches, Texas. He and two of his friends were riding in his Cavalier when they pulled out on to North Street on a green light. Meanwhile, down the street an Eclipse and a Mustang were running fairly close at an extremely high rate of speed. One of these two cars struck my cousin's car on the driver side door, mortally wounding him and killing one of his passengers instantly. I know y'all have heard this all before, but please, as high performance drivers it is our responsibility to ensure the safety of those drivers around us. This to me means that we should not run on the street. I may get booed for saying this but I have too. Please, don't street race. For some 20 dollar bet between to 16 year old kids, my cousin was essentially murdered.
