Videos posted on a popular internet site show a young man videotaping an alleged street race he was part of while manoeuvring his vehicle in Metro Vancouver at a speed topping 240 km/h.

CBC News uncovered the videos uploaded to YouTube over the weekend by a person identifying himself as a 19-year-old Vancouver man. He also has a MySpace page displaying his high-performance silver Honda S2000 sports car.

The man apparently accepted an invitation online to meet at Tim Hortons on Byrne Road and Marine Way in Burnaby at 11 p.m. Saturday "to decide there if we should go racing."

Freddy Fonseca, who put out the invitation, told CBC News on Monday that he founded Vancouver TS, a group of as many as 60 young men who meet to talk about cars and racing.

"If we find a good road where there's no one around, we'll actually block that road and do it," Fonseca said. "I mean, other than killing ourselves there's no one else we can really kill."

Fonseca said his group did not race on Saturday and he did not know about the videos, but the driver who posted it online was indeed at the car meet discussed earlier online.

Vancouver police said the YouTube video could become online evidence with the potential to implicate drivers who have not yet run into police.

"If we get enough evidence from these sort of videos, we will proceed," Const. Tim Fanning said Monday.

"We will bring it to the [Office of the] Superintendent of Motor Vehicles and say … this is what we have and we think it's a good idea to suspend this person's licence."

The alleged street-racing video disturbed Nina Rivet, whose sister Irene Thorpe, 51, was struck and killed in November 2000 by a car travelling at more than 120 km/h.

Two people were convicted of criminal negligence causing death in Thorpe's case and were handed conditional sentences of two years to be served at home.

"They're sending a message that it's OK to do what they do and it's not. It's wrong. They're going to kill somebody, or if they don't, kill themselves," Rivert said of the drivers depicted in the YouTube video.

Fanning said he believes police forces in Metro Vancouver will eventually be able to identify the driver of the car seen racing in the YouTube video.

"This story is going to be run all over the television. Somebody will probably phone into the local police department and give us the name of that person," Fanning said.

"Whichever police department it is, I'm sure it's going go out and have a word with them because street racing is taken very seriously. Cars can be seized immediately, driver's licences can be pulled, and you're in front of a judge right away."
