Not even a week or so after NHRA sent their letters to the cast.

He is from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma? I don't recognize him from the TV show. He would have a long drive from LA to OKC each week.

I do understand why the post (related to racing) bad publicity. but the circumstances would be the same if someone driving normal had done this. just IMO.

Isn't that a lllooooonnnnnnggggg stretch to charge someone whose vehicle didn't hit anyone?
I suppose the nanny staters are equating it with an accomplice bank robber who is there when his partner shoots someone to death?

Most states here on the east coast treat street racing very hard if something happens, accomplice.

Think of it this way, if there was no one to race, the driver would not have anyone to race, so he would not have killed those people.

2 guys were racing from a stop light in phila a couple years ago and 1 ran down a mother and baby in carriage, both were charged.

If the dude who lost control and plowed into people, and then fled the scene, didn't have anyone to race, there wouldn't have been a race. Then there wouldn't have been an accident that killed 2 people. That's how its supposed to work to discourage people from doing "harmless" crimes that just so happen to Kill 2 people. If you commit a crime and that crime directly leads to someone's death, then you are responsible. That's how its should work. I don't see how anyone can see it differently. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. The risk are obvious. He had to have known it was possible to lose control and plow into the crowd. It's like flinging a loaded weapon around during an armed robbery. If it goes off and kills someone, your going to jail for murder.

NHRA did the right thing distancing themselves from the show before the media gets a hold of Street Outlaws and relates it to stories like these.

That guy is not a cast member . He was someone they raced on one of the shows from another City .
