[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 2562739, member: 15253"] Never been in a real street race, I'd guess? Not the stoplight to stoplight crap that the lightweights do, but the real street race, with water on the pavement for the burn outs, and time enough for a couple of dry hops to get the water off the tires? Because part of the appeal of real street racing is that it is illegal (and, yes, I know that they race on closed roads for the show). Another reason serious street racers don't run on the track--if you're good enough to make some real money that way, you don't want everyone to know how quick your car really is (which is why some tracks run "No Time" events). Also, most serious street races don't take place on a "regular street". The locations are usually carefully selected. And, just as free-style BMX street riding evolved from much more structured BMX track racing, there are some guys who just don't want to be bound by a bunch of rules thought up by somebody else.
