There is no way to have a 0% chance of endangering others on any public road. You cannot know, without a doubt, that there isn't some pedestrian or vehicle in the vicinity of your vehicle. I don't care if it's 3 AM on the most isolated, industrial road in town, you cannot know for sure that no one else is around. This is why street racing is illegal, and why it is such a stupid thing to part in.

I believe you are vastly outnumbered. Everyone I know on this board is a responsible adult who has no desire to increase attention on our vehicles from the police, or worse yet, injure or kill someone else due to our negligence.

This is just asinine. You are comparing the emissions of a vehicle to potentially ending people's lives. If you think it's OK to street race as long as your car passes smog, then you've got a very messed up set of priorities.
