There are many things we do during the course of the day whcih may endanger the lives of others, when we race, or any of the races I go to, the only people in immdiate danger are the ones racing. True, many things "could" possibly happen which may lead to the endangerment of innocent people, but they are slim. The people racing know of the risks, and are willing to accept that.
Forgive me for I have not known anyone lost in a streetracing accident which may be why I have the opinion I do, but I believe someone going down a freeway at 135 mph amongst traffic is at a much greater risk then the type of racing we do.
The problem with street racing and LEGAL racing is the only person you can injure in a LEGAL racing is yourself and other competitors who all know the risk and have signed waivers. The paramedics are also on hand to respond right away.
The problem with street racing is that you put other people who are doing their everyday normal things and forcing them into a situation where they had no intentions of being in.
That would be like me pushing you out of a plane and you not knowing if you have a parachute strapped to your back or an anvil and then saying "HAVE FUN!"
