hmm hard to post this but ya do get what ya get in fast driving. I am very glad he diddnt crash it into a school bus or mini van full of fund raiser volunteers.
The movies showing street racings ugliest side glorified all or nothing do or die were not his design.
He Did however live that life in reality and glorified it regularly in interviews.
He did encourage street racing to a whole new generation after we had moved 80% of racing from the streets to the tracks in the 80s.
He died in exactly the same manner as hundreds of young and stupid people died who watched his shows.
I guess those are the facts as I see them.
I dont feel anything for him at all because of these facts, but I have sorrow for his daughter and countless friends who now must live with the fact they watched and encouraged his behavior to this end.
