What it comes down to for me is safety and execution. If someone is endangering the lives of other motorists or pedestrians, then obviously that's irresponsible & they deserve a solid reprimand. But for something like the video I posted above--well, that's not even in the same class as "street racing," in my book. But, on a technicality, it would and often is categorized with such. This is the type of racing that most people I know of do, and frankly I don't think it warrants harsh penalties.

The actual differences are really difficult to explain to those who haven't been involved in both scenes, but trying to get through to the stubborn, thick-headed people and municipalities, who are so eager to scream, "Off with their heads," is a greater challenge all on it's own.

Completely agree
