It doesn't take a genius to know that street racing is stupid. It might take one to figure out how no one died here, but that's kind of beside the point.

The point is, if you park your car in the middle of a public street, line up with another similarly mouth-breathing "racer," and then one or both of you (and/or your starter) get plowed into by a minivan driven by a drunk driver, you don't really have anyone to blame but yourself.

Sure, a sober driver might have been able to avoid the idiot blockade, but they might not have, either. These guys are lucky they lived to (hopefully) learn that racing belongs on the track.
