Mehh...ive seen ppl die at a street race. 2 cars got in an accident on top of a bridge, the lady got out, and a guy on a bike hit her at 160 while racing another bike, the girl pretty much imploded and the guy on the bike was thrown and died instantly.
Ive seen more but that was the grimmest...Still I go out every saturday night to the street races. I used to participate, but have seen far to much to do it anymore...as for ppl standing in the street, happens all the time. They line up the race, drop the "flag", video tape, or just hangout on the edge of the road for a closer look.
Street racing is a HUGE thing in tampa and ppl die every weekend. I know what im getting into when I go out, and im sure they knew dangers. No pitty, jus pissed that the driver of the towncar couldnt slow down for smoke ahead of him.
