Good. Fair punishment imo is: Blind fold the idiot and have a car ram into him...

LOS ANGELES — A street racer and car tuner whose fame stretched from online videos to a cable TV show  has been charged with two counts of murder after a crash stemming from an illcit Los Angeles race.

Israel "Izzy" Valenzuela, 38, also was charged Thursday with engaging in a street race that caused a concussion. Another alleged promoter of the race, 21-year-old Henry Gevorgyan was charged with the same counts on Tuesday. Both men remain jailed on bail of more than $2 million apiece.

Two men were killed and a third was seriously injured during a Feb. 26 race in Chatsworth, Calif., when a souped-up Mustang went out of control and slammed into a crowd on the sidewalk while racing a Nissan GT-R.

This is all over the NAGTROC forum.  Many opinions there.  The lesson here is do it on the track.  Not worth ruining your life.

Agree. And if you just have to do it on the streets, do what these guys did, trailer your heavily modified cars to a place where if shits happen, it only effects the consensual parties involved, NOT innocent by standers. In this case, these guys raced on a lonely highway in Mexico:

So who's up for some illegal street racing? You know we can probably spin out, crash in to a crowd, exit the car and run away.
