These kids were seriously hurt. When are they going to stop this nonsense. At least the driver was arrested and put in one of those filthy mexican
jails.

The race organizers should provide barriers and security to keep pedestrians back at safe distance, or they should quit using public streets. What is
disconcerting is gringo race organizers putting this on in Mexico because they can do it on the cheap, avoid safety measures, not be held responsible
for property or environmental damage, etc.

It would be impossible for Score to put barriers up
for 500 miles. It goes back to common sense. 800/1200HP speeds over 100mph.Don't put yourself in harms way.

To some here, people are not responsible for what decisions they make in life... it is always someone else's fault... and the government's purpose to
to take care of them from cradle to grave.

Did you even bother to watch the video? This driver veered off into the crowd who were behind barriers. Organizers were stupid for racing in the
city. Driver was arrested for speeding in the city. Knuckleheads. Doesn't have anything to do with excess government.
