Yes, I did see that, but it's woefully wrong. But since you seem to think that the Bay Area doesn't have any fatalities from street racing:

SAN JOSE (KCBS) ? - Two young men apparently involved in street racing were killed early Saturday morning in two separate fatal accidents in San Jose.
The first accident happened at Capitol and Story roads just after midnight.
Witnesses told police that 20-year-old Tranquanillo Lopez of San Jose was racing another car when he lost control and crashed.
He was ejected from his vehicle and struck by another car that was not involved in the drag race, said San Jose Police spokesman Sgt. Nick Muyo.
Muyo told KCBS the driver of the vehicle that struck Lopez was arrested on felony hit-and-run charges.
Just before 2am, police responded to a traffic accident at Monterey Rd. and Live Oak Ave.
Police believe that 23-year-old Juan Moya of San Jose was acting as a race starter when he was hit by a car not involved in the race.
Police are investigating both accidents and have withheld the names of the suspect in each case.

I used to go to street races in the LA all the time. I know how dangerous they can be and I know all about the sweeps and crackdowns by the police. To say that it's not dangerous is ignorant at best. Accidents happen, even to professionals.
