it is more about the odds of something being catastrophic vs just an accident. with safety equipment and crews on site, better maintained surfaces, flatter surfaces, gaurdrails, and no oncoming traffic, it is easy to see why racing at the track is safer than racing on teh street.
add to that the thought that you will lose your license, car, and a few thousand bucks if you are convicted on teh street compared to the only ticket you get at teh track, the one you pay $20 for to get in.
