Owner of Mustang charged with 2 counts of Murder. He says he wasn't driving, but is seen in video as starter for the race. They said that he stated that he didn't know the driver. The whole scene stinks. The need for speed is age old and I understand that, but the mentality of the people that I've seen in all the videos of street racing isn't exactly stellar. The National Geographic video of the street racers in Compton suggest it as an alternative to the gang scene. Even the encounters at the NHRA track seem not to be of very high caliber. All petrol heads will suffer from the mistakes made by other petrol heads. The need for speed is not the problem. It is the bad decisions that we humans make and that includes the two who died in this horrible accident. The whole scenes I've seen involve series upon series of bad decisions.
