yes in a sense, street racing is as deadly as playing tag with a knife, because you are using both potentialy deadly weapons irresponsibly<sp>, but just the same if you were just driving down the road as normal and killed someone or were walking into the kitchen and tripped on a childs toy and stabbed your friend on the way down killing him, both would be considered accidents and not murder, only the motor car accident would get vehicular manslaughter which in the laws eyes isnt as bad of an offense as accidentaly stabbing your friend and killing him.
