Yes, those are also very dangerous. But, does the presence of more dangerous activities legitimize other less dangerous (yet still somewhat dangerous) activities? Even if they are on a "baron" road?
I'm not against having a little fun on the road, but there are people out there who's whole self-worth seems to come from beating other cars. On the track, on the street, where ever. When you get two of those people together, there is no such thing as 'safe' street racing. When both are pushing so hard to see who will back down first, there is a good chance of a fatality, and just as good of a chance that it won't be either driver. Personally, I feel sorry for those types of people, and I hope none of you are like that.
