James Dickson, 37, died after reaching speeds of more than 90mph in a 30mph zone before crashing into another car and some railings.
Craig Norman, who was driving a white Audi, had been pursuing Mr Dickson as the pair raced through Little Hulton in Salford. Norman was able to stop prior to the fatal collision and did not collide with Mr Dickson. Norman, who did not stop at the scene, was charged with causing Mr Dickson's death by dangerous driving.
Prosecutors accused him of contributing to the horror crash by racing Mr Dickson, who was driving a Fiat 500 which had been stolen weeks earlier.
