Illegal Street Racing Tragedies

Deaths caused by illegal street racing have reached epidemic proportions. According to the Department of Motor Vehicles from 2000 to 2006, drivers plead guilty to illegal speed contests in 50,000 cases. That's an average of 160 illegal races per week. In 2006, more than 6000 people were convicted of participating in illegal speed contests. Watch this moving video and see why Fast & Furious Hollywood Stuntman Sammy Maloof is in development of his own reality tv show to help solve this growing problem.

no one ever listens to us because we are just punk street racers that dount care about life right thats how i fill i could fill city hall with street racers but we all know it will make no dif so why bother show us that you are willing to help and you will get all the help from us that you could ever use

[SammyMaloof]

My little brother, you're not a punk street racer. You're a gifted, talented man who's got mechanical, creative abilities inside of you that some people just don't understand, but that's ok, they'll come around. Trust me, I've lived it... Don't let it discourage you. Remember, one can't multiply. We win thru numbers. What we need to do is galvanize our thoughts and our talents together and build a venue and watch all the people come and support it.

-Your big brother, Sammy Maloof

There is one solution BUILD TRACKS.

@TheStreetmulisha if you want to race to to a race track

[Tatersalad0504]

@TheStreetmulisha if the government would stop being so worried about the money in their own bank accounts and build a track near some major cities like so many parents and racers have asked and begged for this kind of thing wouldnt happen. i was almost killed when i wrecked my camaro into a field. had there been a track near i would have been there that night. and wouldnt have been hurt. there is so much evidence that building tracks cuts down on street racing by untold numbers

All you can do is just watch out for these idiots and pray.That's the best you can hope for.I use to be one of those idiots,but God taught me to use my common sense and consider my fellow mans well-being.

Notice these accidents occur at night. You never pull out in front of people when you can't gauge how fast they're going (i.e. night-time). I'm not saying it's not the fault of the people racing (it mostly is), but the other people involved usually deserve blame as well. Especially when they have children in the car. It's this reason that (at night) I wait for all oncoming cars to pass before turning onto a street. It takes two to tango, etc. Learn to drive, people.

show more vids like this in drivers ed.

build more race tracks.

huge fines and crush cars first offence.

most 16 year old kids dont think this can happen to them.

@SammyMaloof Listen I can't condone street racing BUT all this could be avoided if they built tracks for people to race in a few places in each state for a small price (in order to maintain the track). But since no city counsel or state government seems to want to do that they can not seriously xpect for people to stop racing. unless you give people a legal place to do it they will do it illegally. (examples:pot & fight clubs) I see races a lot where I live and honestly I've never seen a wreck.

It's 90% of these you punks that kill in these streetraces they get the fast cars and can't handle the speed or power. I use to streetrace, but then I grew up and had a family we have many tracks to race on in NYC and N.J. sometimes you have too wait until they open up in the spring so in that time over the winter you get your car right for the spring/summer racer season these are just excusses young peole post. Race smart wait until the tracks open and who knows you might make it big.
