Shiet, I'm glad that I had to stay on the ship that night, that may have been me or one of my friends.......... I'm not going there for a while.

www.dragva.com is conducting a fundraising for the victims on the 12th of July at 3pm on the same parking lot of the abandoned AMES. I'll be there and trying to contact the organizer to volunteer.

Hmm... I'm equally impressed by the "300-500" spectators. How many of those were lined up on the edge of the strip waiting to get hit? A little common sense, folks.

If I want to get hit, I'll go watch some WRC.

Unfortunately, never.

It really sucks when an innocent bystander or passenger gets killed

amazing...people need to lear, but like you said they never will.
it pisses me off more to see people race with children or girlfriends or even family in the car with them, it's just stupid
The only time I ever take up a challenge is if, I see I will not be doing any harm to anybody but myself if something does go wrong
survey the area...if pedestrians or other vehicles are present, don't please
