Speeding in a developed community is usually reckless. In this case the young man was not being highly irresponsible - the area was a well-known strip for gearheads to traverse (the cops didn't bother trying to enforce much) - Pass Road was wide, lightly-traveled (mostly big slow trucks) with long driveways from the parking lots out onto the main street - the roar of an approaching 450 V-8 at full throttle was enough warning for most.
As I recall there were no major collisions caused by high-speed collisions on that road - I would have heard about it through the grapevine - Monterey Park was (and still is) sort of a small town by today's standards - word got around fast if people died in fiery car wrecks inside city limits.
