We live in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN. There's a local city street where impromptu and illegal drag races are held. The starting line and finish line (1/8 mile) are painted on the street. There was an amateur video by someone who caught the action of one race. A beautiful 1969 Camaro VS. a 70s era Dodge or Plymouth. Both cars were heavily modified and their front ends lifted at the starting line. Half way down the "strip", the Camaro lost control, went over the curb, and hit a tree. The Camaro suffered irreparable damage and the driver suffered broken ribs and back injuries when he was ejected from the vehicle. Lesson to be learned: Even if you're a dumbass, wear your seat belt!
