I think reasonable people could agree that it would be stupid for people to line up along side a drag strip to watch the drag race. I think reasonable people would agree it would be wrong for any organzier to permit this. If a public road is being used as a drag strip, well....follow the bouncing ball.

Can we all agree being near mustangs at a C&C is the real assumption of risk here?

Well now that we've beaten this issue to death, let's get down to the important questions. What's the totaled car going to be sold by the ins company for and was there any damage to the PCCBs? I want them.
Too soon?

You don't want any of those parts. They may be haunted by the spirits of the injured people. Moreover, the parts could be imbued with the stupidity of the prior owner, and the stupidity could be contagious. You could have an irresistible impulse to do burnouts in populated areas. ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

I'll give them $50-60k for the car, scavenge the PCCB, sell the motor, tranny and LWBs, part out the few remaining parts (any wheels, suspension, etc. that are undamaged).

Yes, a sidewalk is for pedestrians. Under normal circumstances you would be correct. An unsuspecting pedestrian walking his dog is not responsible for a car suddenly swerving and running him and Fido over. But when that pedestrian uses that sidewalk next to a roadway being misued to get close to dangerous conduct the previous paradym changes and changes drastically...or so I thought until you enlightened me. LOL.
I would expect cars to abide by local traffic laws whether or not they are participating in a C&C. If on the other hand I'm naive, and it is well known that it's highly likely that cars participating in C&C events are likely to drive recklessly when they depart, then I would expect that the local police should have the responsibility to patrol these events to protect the general public. For example when I was young and partied on a regular basis, I would almost always see patrol cars parked near bar rooms at around 2:30 AM. Apparently there were enough inebriated drivers at these establishments in the wee hours of the morning to justify a police presence.
Driving behavior at C&Cs depicted in the videos in this thread are foreign to me since I have never witnessed reckless driving at the C&Cs I've attended. The owners of the exotic cars that frequent the C&C events that I attend are typically 55+, and they are long past the age where they try to impress anyone. The following is a link to the kind of behavior that I witness in the C&C that I attend. If you know and appreciate the exotic cars they have, it's fine, but if you don't that's also fine .

To be sure, some lawyers are a$$holes and snakes but the legal profession doesn't have a monopoly on a$$holes and snakes last I checked. I pretty sure what you do for a living has it's share of a$$holes and snakes.

The only person that won was the attorneys in civil lawsuit. Half a mill in fee's paid out of pocket. My close friend whom is a laywer ALWAYS tells me - DO EVERYTHING within your power to settle out of court W/ out a lawyer. He basically begged me. When i had an auto accident a few months back w/ my DD- i did just that. Settled w/ person whom rear ended me out of court/ no lawyers. After spending half a mill in attorney fees last time around w attorney - believe me i will take his advise of settling for pennies but w/ out an attorney, if i'm the plaintiff.
p.s. he used much more colorful language then "hate".

This thread is off the hinges. We've got Waxer trying to show ALL C&C involve reckless driving and risk to pedestrians, to show negligence on the part of the organizer, based on what, random YouTube videos across the world? I'm guessing you're a plaintiffs' lawyer? One suggestion from a fellow lawyer: measly 2 day exams and 3 years of school post-undergrad aren't going to impress people, especially the many doctors on this forum who spent more than that just getting hazed in residency.

I worked in medicine, as such I can assure you one can be rich, scholastically talented, professionally accomplished and still be a giant douchebag. What are we posting next? Wieners next to rulers?
