Brady Texas Motor Speedway

The race track is actually North Graham Street between Crothers Street and South Street in the northwest section of Brady Texas.
Various types of automobiles regularly race down this road at speeds clearly in excess of 40 MPH at all hours of the day and night completely disregarding the numerous children and pedestrians in the area. There is an elementary school, an after school child care facility, and a a church all very near this unofficial race track. The speed limit is 30 MPH and SHOULD be 20 MPH due to all the children
in the area which the many dangerous and reckless drivers speeding up and down North Graham Street clearly do not care about at all.

To make matters worse, Lake Graham appears in the 1500 Block of North Graham Street every time it rains, (which has been quite often the past few months), creating a large temporary pond in the middle of North Graham Street which these dangerous speeding drivers hydroplane through at high speed  – one of these idiot drivers is going to lose control at Lake Graham and collide with a house, parked car,
or possibly even a small child.

Brady Texas Police have been informed of this problem on numerous times over the past year but there has been absolutely no increase in police patrols or speed enforcement on this unofficial race track. Somebody is going to get seriously injured or killed on the North Graham Street Race Track if the City Of Brady, particularly the Brady Police, don’t immediately start taking steps to end this major speeding problem.

Local law enforcement cannot be in the area 24 / 7, but they could make appearances slightly more frequently.  It really would not take much effort on the part of police to stop and ticket a few of these very dangerous drivers and even a small show of force
by the police would probably be effective as word gets around fast in a small town like Brady. An even more effective and long term solution to this problem would be to install at least one four way stop at one of the intersections about half way along North Graham between Crothers and South Street and then have police monitor the new stop signs for a few days. This would force these idiotic homicidal speeders to slow down, at least once, while traveling down this residential street heavily populated by small children.

Austin Texas American Statesman – 03/09/2010

Austin police say a 19-year-old man speeding on a city street has been charged with manslaughter after the car veered out of control, striking and killing two women at a bus stop.

Erick Armando Nuncio-Moreno is charged with two counts of second-degree manslaughter and remains in the Travis County Jail with bond set at $100,000. The arrest affidavit says Nuncio-Moreno pulled up to a stop light at South First Street and Stassney Lane about 7:30 a.m. Saturday and revved his engine. When the light turned green, Nuncio-Moreno sped away, lost control at a curve and slammed into the women waiting at a bus stop, killing them. Police haven’t released the women’s names, but the affidavit says one was age 53 and the other was 53.
