They seem to be learning, street-racing-related deaths are way down this year.

the same thing happened at Tamarack a month or two ago though ...

really not much can be done to stop it though, short of ensuring the freeways always are moving at 20mph or setting speed limiters at 50mph on all cars.

any clue what car that red one was?

It was a CRX

Okay, update: they're saying the car the fled the scene was a lowered Honda CRX with spoiler and primer gray or blue. So that doesn't really narrow it down.
