cool video, too bad it did not show at least a few specs on the cars racing. did not know matamoros was a big into street racing.
btw, in illegal racing, i dont think it would matter much if you`re standing 4ft away from the cars as shown in the vid or 8ft away as in a lot of the racing videos you see in the internet.
It is very risky of course, but its been this way for decades, all over the world.
You guys should take a look at some of the wrc rally stages, the dakar or some of the baja races to get an idea of how close people get all over the world to see the action.
i`ve been attending races in my area for almost two decades, and have never seen a single car hit a person.
