Another racing story with a bad ending

Another fresh reminder about the hazards of street racing. I came upon this wreck Sunday morning when it was very fresh. A very sad site to see that lady's body laying slumped over in the Taurus.

There aren't any details in the news report, but the Taurus was pushed 50+ yards from where the Z stopped. He had to be flying when he t-boned it!

The good news for us; the Z did not look that bad. The motor was pushed down a little as it started to drop beneath the car. They used the jaws of life to open his door but the cockpit was sound. He walked away.. in handcuffs.

I do have one question for this guy: How intimidating was that Honda Accord 4dr to warrant doing 80+ mph around a 35mph turn ?

On a positive note, any groups going to Sebring in March ?

THats the good news?! The good news should be that the stupid ******* driver was put behind bars and made a new friend nameed Bubba. He took some ladies life because he wanted to be "cool" for 8 seconds?! And the good news is the Z was ok? Am i mistaken? Was it YOUR Z that looked "OK"? What about the Ford Taurus, since the outcome of the cars is the main concern here. Stupid A-hole racers.
