And now, a sad, sobering reminder that racing of any kind should only be done at the track. Police in Georgia are investigating a street racing crash Thursday night that resulted in the death of a driver's baby and a 19-year-old passenger in her car.

Street racing is pretty fucking stupid. Going too fast on public roads is just a shitbrained thing to do, but what about street drifting, where speeds are low?

What better way to get into illegal street racing than to post your name, phone number, and a picture of you and your outdated Lexus on the internet, for everyone to see? Daniel, aka The Street King, apparently did just that, and even offered to race for pink slips.

The mountainous roads surrounding Virginia's Shenandoah Valley aren't the world's most treacherous, but they are fun to drive, and they're easy to get to from Washington, D.C. So it's not all that surprising that car enthusiasts from the D.C. area's teeming, affluent suburbs occasionally make their way down there.

When you think of an activity that's beloved everywhere by safety advocates, law enforcement and parents' groups, what immediately comes to mind? That's right: illegal street racing. Of course. Nothing bad ever happens when you do that!

As we watched this tuned Mazda RX-8 lift-off-oversteer into a forest we couldn't help but think to ourselves "damn, that GoPro is strong."

As soon as this Mustang street racer hits the gas, he experiences a nitrous blowout. It's powerful enough to blow the top half of the intake manifold straight through the hood and even pop the Mustang logo out of the grill.

The owner of this white Honda Civic hit his girlfriend, dragged her by her hair, and then attempted to run over a crowd of angry onlookers. That's when the mob trashed and flipped his car. Was this justified?

If a streetracer wrecks his car, hurts no one, and says he's learned his lesson, should he still be brought to the police? The members of a local Honda forum responded to one such incident with a resounding yes.

Last Sunday, two Hondas outside of Tampa, Florida sat side-by-side on the highway, about to start a street race when a drunk driver in a Nissan SUV smashed into one of the racers at speed. Unbelievably, no one was seriously injured.
