However there isn’t any approach of avoiding the primary time of this, the primary time of what it looks like and the expertise of it and all of that … He is a outstanding individual. He is an exquisite participant. He has a lot to supply the world and all, I simply don’t desire him to overlook this chance to the place we won’t determine it out. So we’ll do every thing we will.”

“It is simply arduous on him. Our guys love this recreation that they develop up taking part in and after they sense that there could also be an finish to it, it is arduous. It is tough and it is actual. We’ll love him via it and assist him as a lot as doable if that is the case, like we do with all people with regards to the top of it. It is inevitable. It is coming. However it’s all the time too quickly. We’re attempting to combat that off and he is aware of that. He is battling. He is doing every thing he can and he needs to compete all the way in which till the final phrase, and so he is going for it.”

SEATTLE – Seattle is at a breaking point as fearless street racers continue to scoff at the law.
City Attorney Ann Davison is determined to change that by proposing hefty fines and making video, including social media posts, admissible as evidence.
“We need to have our laws matter,” Davison said. “With our understaffing with Seattle Police, we need to be smart in how we address this.”
Seattle Police Department street takeover dashcam video
On June 22 and 23, 2024, Seattle Police officers responded to street takeover events in the city.
On Tuesday morning, Davison and leaders with the Seattle Police Department presented their proposal to members of the City Council Public Safety Commission.
Seattle Police report that social media posts often inspire swarms of people to attend these dangerous events. What begins as death-defying donuts often escalates into deadly consequences: gunfire, hit-and-runs and even homicides.
One example of that blatant disregard is Miles Hudson, the man-behind-the-wheel of the infamous “Belltown Hellcat.” Despite a slew of criminal charges, thousands of dollars in fines and constant demands to stop, Hudson continues to post videos of him speeding and revving his souped up car on his Instagram.
Belltown Hellcat exploits WA’s new street racing law
Despite facing two reckless driving charges and over $80,000 in fines, “Belltown Hellcat” driver Miles Hudson is still on the streets and posting new content in his 2023 Dodge Charger.
“I saw how people were laughing at officers because it felt like they couldn’t do anything,” remarked Councilmember Joy Hollingsworth. “I’m assuming people come to Seattle to do it because we don’t have particular laws that prevent this from happening.”
Davison suggests imposing a $500 fine for cars caught spinning out. She also argues that video evidence, including dash or body camera footage and social media content, should be used to prosecute offenders.
During the discussion, Councilmember Rob Saka expressed strong support for following the city of Kent’s lead in criminalizing spectators too. Saka promised to reach out to Kent mayor Dana Ralph to learn more.
