Default street racing + deer = bad night

So im talking to a guy i know who just bought a '05 silvy with same engine and transmission as me and was wondering it being step side would change anything.We started at 20 and both gunned it and as we hit 60 i saw him lay on brakes and i looked up to see a deer.I layed on the brakes but was to late and plowed into him throwing him into the windsheild and over the back of the truck.needless to say I had to make an agonizing phone call to the insurance company today.Took out the grill.windsheild,and destroying my headlamps beyond recognition.Moral of the story is be careful racing and watch out for deer on small *** roads.
