Seems to me like sheer idiocy to pull such a thing with all those people lining the road.

My defining image of drag-racing is when they lose control of the car during a race. I can't image what the organizers were thinking...and just as bad, I can't image how the spectators could have not detected that "this was a bad idea." How horrifying.
