If it's on the street, *always*. There's only 1 road in the world that speed like is legal (the Autobahn) and even there, if you're racing, you're an idiot with no respect for your life or those around you.

Since a track is the only place where racing is legal. If street racing result were considered "legit", it would kill people.

It's also a fact that people murder, steal, lie, etc. Just because it's done doesn't make it acceptable. People that street race and somehow believe there's some redeaming value to it are wasting their lives. Not only are they risking death or jail, they are also wasting their potential to succeed in real racing. Like Art said, there are plenty of legitimate racing outlets. Hell, I think I have like two or three free weekends over the next 10 months, the rest have an AutoX, or race already scheduled. For the price of all that N2O street racers buy, they could be autocrossing every weekend or dragging at a real strip, and could potentially get noticed and picked up to drive professionally. Take a list of famous race car drivers, and find me one that got picked up due to his "mad street skillz".
Keep it on the track.
