People get hurt and die on monitored race tracks and no one cries out for them to stop racing. Granted that's a bit different but my point remains valid. Think about it.
Explain to me what my (supposed) actions have to do with anyone elses? If I do, or if I don't, doesn't legitimize street racing in any way, shape or form. If I take off from a street light quickly, it doesn't magically make street racing okay. Even if I accelerate quickly up an on ramp, it still doesn't make a street race safe or legal.

So, please tell me exactly how anyone's actions on the street make asshat street racers less asshat-ey?
