Yes, probably dangerous for participants and observers. Personal responsibility, don't be there unless you can accept the risk.
Media likes to sensationalize the story for ratings.
Local old people want people to "keep of their grass"
I'd rather see young people doing this than sitting on the couch getting high, eating Cheetos and playing Call of Duty.

I don't think there were any innocents walking their baby in a stroller down the sidewalk at that time.
Tracks are great, they are becoming fewer and fewer.

This is a load of bullshit!
This was not some isolated abandoned airstrip or closed roads these were public streets.
There is no need to be racing on the streets and teaching your kids "situational awareness" does not prevent innocents from being killed.
The fact that it has "been going on forever" doesn't make it OK.
