If it was my grandfather, I'd punch him in the nads for risking the lives of literally everyone else on the road.

What a jerkoff, and what a waste of time. For a fraction of the money this guy spent, he could have gone racing in NASA or the SCCA. Then he'd be a racer, instead of a douchebag trying to calculate his way to fame.
OK, I'll say it. Where did the trust fund come from to pay for this whole thing? Obviously has to be a 27 year old with family money. No way he could afford to do this on his own.
I'm not here from the safety brigade, but I do find Jalopnik's stance on street racing confusing:

Nothing I like more on a sunny/cloudy/cold/hot/dry/wet/rainy/snowy/foggy/hot/muggy day when I'm tired/hungover/sick/late/bored/sore/angry/high than to get stuck on traffic, pay tons of money for gas/maintenance/taxes/insurance and have difficulty finding parking spots.
You're absolutely right apart from the fact that Europeans earn higher wages, have good public schools, comprehensive healthcare, minimum 5 weeks paid vacation, livable pensions upon retirement, and an annual murder rate that equals a long weekend in Chicago.
Not to be a buzz killer, but they have some of the happiest countries on earth. Shocking, huh?
1) Not so - there are several medieval-style longbows in my house. These were remarkably effective weapons in their day, certainly more than equal to the primitive bang-sticks you guys used to take ownership of your great country...
More bikes than cars are sold in the US...
