I kinda think it is sad that the people that he was racing didnt stop. I dont care how bad of a ticket or whatever I would of gotten, I would of stopped to help the guy out. It might of been the difference in him living or not. Sad to hear that he died even though he was breaking the law. And whoever said he had it coming, you are an F-in idiot.

Damn, thats harsh. No matter your views, it is very sad, and I dont think "he had it coming to him"

May he rest in peace, and his family eventually find comfort
So sad to hear this kind of story, regardless of type of car, or what he was doing.

RIP Myron, and condolences to his family and friends. It's a shame that some people don't realize that this would be one of those times to follow the old adage: "If you don't have something nice to say, then STFU!"

The two guys he was cruising with at high speed are in serious trouble. Their Vettes will be siezed and destroyed by the governmnent. Canada has very strict laws about street racing. Personally I think they should do that here as well. I had two very good friends die in a street racing accident in Dallas. The tragedy continued as the person they were racing went home and killed himself later that night. There is no reasonable excuse to do it. It is very unfortunate that Myron died in this accident.

Keep it on the track

You and Bracketman are real tough guys, aren' ya. The guys before me in this thread who slammed you were being much too polite...so I'll cut to the chase...you're both fricking morons!!! Wonder how you'd feel if it was some one you knew or worst yet someone in your family

Mods, I realize this may cost me some time on the sidelines but I don't care...I won't sit back after loosing one of our own to hear that kind of ****. I know, its a free country, and they are entitled to their opinion...well, I just wanted them to know my opinion about theirs...end of story

Poor decisions maybe...
But NOBODY has "it" (death) "coming" to them for whatever reason...
