My point was simply that racing someone in a straight line holds zero appeal to me. I can enjoy plenty of back roads at a moderate clip with plenty of corner speed and not even break the speed limit on the straight bits.
As to your track question, I haven't had the car on the track. All my racing was on bikes in days gone by. I'm old!

Hitting the apex on turn on the street can be every bit as dangerous as street racing though. You may not be breaking the speed limit, but you're still not being safe.
Now, you can say you're doing it in low risk areas, and you're making the chances of an encounter with another vehicle much lower, but that's exactly my point about two cars racing in a straight line. Under the right circumstances, the risk is very low.
