What did I misunderstand?
I got it. Your friends died driving down the road while stupid people happened to be drag racing. Could have been a drugged driver, or drunk, or fleeing the police from a bank robbery, murder or even perhaps rushing to there wife's side at the hospital for the first baby!
Should we now outlaw expecting Dad's from driving because they MAY get to excited?
Once again, race at your own risk like everything else in life. The track is the best spot, no doubt!
