Don’t kid yourself … this isn’t about access to tracks. The people who are really and truly interested in racing will find a way to do it legally. The people who truly know about the dynamics of a vehicle and the physics behind driving them fast would never put themselves or others at risk by racing on public road– street racing is nothing more than a romantic pseudonym for dangerous and irresponsible driving. And that deserves to be punished whether or not a collision is involved.

I go to the 1/4 mile track, solo events, and wish to do some lapping this year if time permits.

The same guys that attend these track events are the same guys I go out with Friday night to 'street race' in the country roads. I'm talking about 35+ years old here, not your typical civic street racer.

Good point on knowing the limits of your cars....I wouldnt dare go out with a bunch of 20 year old punks that know how to shift and keep the car in a straight line. I go out with these guys because their mature and know exactly what the limit of their car is, so they dont 'push it' on public roads. I know what were doing is illegal, but when your with a group like this, its done with responsibility (if you can take out the whole braking the law part :P )
