Exclusive Video and Interviews From Drag Racing

One of the young spectators at Saturday's drag racing carnage on Route 210 in Accokeek, Maryland provided me with a video of the first race that night;


It shows how the two cars take off in a cloud of smoke toward the finish line a quarter mile away. The point, according to those who were there is that it would be next to impossible for a speeding car-with lights on--to sneak up on a large crowd in the roadway with even more people off to the sides and able to give warning should a speeding car--or even police--arrive to breakup the illegal street racing.


It was the second race at the same location on the same early morning that ended with the white Crown Victoria slamming into the crowd that gathered in the roadway...killing eight people.


A significant group of men--race car drivers and spectators who were there Saturday--met with me Monday at a secret location to say what they refuse to tell police. They fear they'll face charges for taking part in the illegal races. http://... http://wm.wusa.gannett.edgestreams.net/news/021808_BRJdragrx_wusa.wmv
