One wonders why this accident happened. I would have to ask another question...why were there adults (27 to 60) up at hour watching an illegal race? What were they thinking? I was more shocked hearing the ages of the people involved and killed. It's something one might expect out of people in their teens, but not "mature" adults. I believe that they should be held accountable for participating in an illegal car race and placing themselves in a situation that caused death. What were they thinking?
