I had nowhere to go; there was a wall of plowed snow though the roads were clear. It is one of those "no one cares until someone gets hurt" things I think, in many cases. If you support street racing, how would you feel if your innocent kid relative or friend or parent was wiped out as they stood on the curb or rode in their car?!
I have never raced.. I have passed people that were driving 20 mph Under the speed limit and then they sped up as I passed. I barely broke the speed limit though!
I understand your point completely... and agree with the fact that the open road isn't the place to be racing. In AutoX however, it's very well supervised in a super controlled environment and I highly doubt anyone has ever been hit by a car that was racing. I do have a friend that wrecked his mom's S2000 while racing in AutoX, but he didn't hit anyone... He just through the car into a big ditch.
