Im sorry to hear about your friend, But you cant go after the other guy your friend was at fault also for driving so darn fast. I dont think it will get anywhere... This is why you need to keep the real speed off the streets and onto a track. not trying to bag on your friend im just saying this is a great case proving just that.

The person who was driving the silver mazda fled the scene. I assume that this car was most likely an rx7 or rx8....
What I don't understand is why this is on this part of the forum..
Second, you know its a Mazda but don't know if its a 7 or 8?? I would think thats easier to tell than if the car was Mazda or not.

okay guys first of all I'm not trying to hurt him an anyway shape or form Im looking for information because yes my friend got messed up and yes going that fast on public roads was a bad idea but if he lives through this then he will pay for it. my problem is that he is doing it alone. I don't want to hurt this guy and if anyone does not believe me they are being completely reasonable you don't know me and God knows I have a motive to do so. If anyone does know who this is and feels more comfortable giving this information to the alabama state bureau of investigation I urge you to do it. either way I want this guy to get what he LEGALLY deserves. and for everyone who wished him the best I thank you, his family also thanks you and so do the other men at his base in Pennsacola FL.

Don't take what i say in wrong way...
I understand your friend's pain and his misfortune. But What I can't see is you coming here and saying the other person was driving a MAZDA and its either 7 or 8 because it could go 150MPH weaving in and out of traffic.
7 has a very unique look and I could spot it several 100 yards away.. And I would also say the 8 has a very unique look and could be spotted farely well.
By your story, this is what i could assume.. Your friend saw 7/8 and decided to follow him.. you friend couldn't catch him and he lost control of his car. In any situation, I don't think this Madza owner did anything wrong except for so called excessive speeding (but didn't get caught.. which I say I speed but until I get caught, I wouldn't be prosecuted for my previous speeding) and I don't think he fled the scene as you call it.
I hate to say this, but unless the Mazda 7/8 owners made contact with your friend, he is at no way at fault of your friends misfortune. If your friend especially tried to follow this, 7/8, its 100% your friends fault for his misfortune...
Unless you come back with some technical FD related post, I'm going to lock this thread.
Once again, sorry about your friends misfortune and hope he recover from this...

So basically you want to find this guy so he can what get a speeding ticket and/or racing ticket?? Thats pretty much all he did wrong.
Thats like saying I should confess to the state that I was speeding on my way to work this morning and ask for a ticket. From what you are telling us the guy did nothing wrong but SPEED, and you just want him to get a ticket. If your friend survives this is he going to get a ticket for speeding/racing/wreckless driving??
I hope your friend gets better and I may sound harsh(sorry), but pretty much looking for this guy is stupid.

I'm going to close this thread.. Its pointless..
By the way, I'm the third Moderator on this, 3rd gen section of the forum.. I get on this section quite a bit and going to kill any non-technical threads..
Also, I'm going to try to give out as much info as possible. I know few things about FDs and will do my best to help this community.
