Sounds like one guy that was video taping and got hit by one of the cars, and the other guy who passed away, was because somebody shot him, because he wasn't paying up when he just "lost" the race. I've read so far that this was a big money race($10,000). WTF is wrong with people???

[PaulFiveOh]

How the fuck did they die? It didnt look that bad?

Sorry for not being sincere, but fuck street racing and the idiots who participate and hypocrites too.

[PaulFiveOh]

One was hit by a car.The other was gonna load the injured guy up in truck to take to the hospital and an argument started about him taking the guy to the hospital and someone got shot.it was suppose to be a 20k to win race in birmingham alabama and one car was from florida one from tennessee.those cars were putting too much power out to be screwing around on the street

[Rick93coupe]

Wow, these people are die hard if they drove from separate states to a middle ground to race. This shit is supposed to be about having fun. If you feel like you need to carry a gun to a race, its not about having fun anymore. Get a life!

the car in the right lane was from north alabama and the other in the left was from florida, they take off and about 300 ft out the car in the right lane started to power slide over to the car in the left lane hiting the pass. door of the car in the left lane, knocking them into the light poll snapping the light poll in half hitting a guy from florida that was watching to see who won at the end it broke both his legs then when they hit the light pole the car that go hit in the pass. door keep going shooting him across the other side of the road hitting another person dragging him at least 60 to 70 ft then hitting a fire hydrate and a sign stopping, well why this was goin on Anthony Lett went to see if there was any saving the guy that got draged underneath the car ( on record guys i got 3 feet from the guy and i had to turn around ive never seen anything like that before) when trying to put the guy in lett truck the guys from florida disagreed and said to leave him there and Lett said that they couldnt leave him like this layin here so while loading the guy up in his truck BIG LETT was shot in the back 4 times for trying to help an injured or dead person either way he meant no harm, lETT WAS NOT DUMPED AT UAB HE WAS LOADED UP AND TAKIN TO UAB AND WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD AT THE HOSPITAL AT 4:51PM THEY DID NOT DUMP HIM ON THE FRONT DOOR HIS FRIENDS TOOK HIM TO UAB
Lett was a good guy, always joking,always smiling, loved being around dragracing, and alot of people appreciated him for his attitude very big guy but never violent, i knew him for a long time and i have been around him enough to know that he did not deserve to go like that,,, BIG BEAR YOU WILL BE MISSED, I KNOW THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE RIDIN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF ALL THE DRAG RACERS THAT YOU KNOW, CAUSE WE KNOW THAT YOU WILL KEEP US SAFE SO THE NEXT 1/8TH OF A MILE IN KING KONG IS FOR YOU BIG BEAR YOU WILL BE MISSED

if only there was some kind of place to do that kind of stuff safely some place away from the streets with i dont know with a sand pit at 1 end and a light at the othere where you pay 15bucks to run all night long and you could get a hot dog and a coke and a t-shirt and maybe at the end get a slip of paper that says how fast you went......

My sentiments exactly. I know people all around race on the streets but it only takes one miscue by either driver and someone you love could lose their life. Its just not worth it for any amount of money or an adrenaline rush. You wanna put money on it, thats cool go ahead, there is no arguing with a tree and timers...run heads up........at the track.

I found this link on another site it has additional information and a video at the bottom that gives a perspective from the finish point..............very sad the track is the only place to race. :(

Asside from there being a wall between the guys, there's not really a whole lot that could have stopped that accident. One could argue that the road wasn't prepped like a track, but we've all been to the track and it didn't hook worth a damn. How many times have we seen cars cross over into the other lane? Usually it ends ok, and your just cleaning your drawers. This is a sad story indeed.
