You are right, there is more risk, TO YOURSELF, on a mountain road. Once again, you think only of yourself and not of the innocent people. On a mountain road, you might screw up and hit one car, but odds are you will wipe yourself out only. On a highway, lets say I-85 in Gwinnett, where 99% of the BP crowd goes to show off their mechanical prowress, your odds of taking multiple people out with you are much greater. Plus, I dunno who the hell you race on the highway but when I see them go down, they aren't going in a straight line. They are weaving in and out of traffic trying to win and thats when **** goes bad. It only takes one person (Not in the race, doesn't know the risk and not looking in their rear view mirror because they weren't informed that a street race was coming their way giving them ample oppurtunity to leave the roadway) to change lanes and it's a multiple car pile up with possible fatalities.

So what are you trying to say here?
Apparently you didn't comprehend my post.

They're both 'wrong' and illegal. Neither is less illegal. Who made you the end-all in deciding what's safer and what percentage there is of only taking yourself out on a mountain road? How about the family that going driving down that mountain or the bikers that are cruising around don't get hit from behind on someone trying to show off their driving skill?

Re-read my post because you apparently failed to see my point. I never condoned racing when there are cars around. I said the only times I street race are when there's not a single other car in front of us or on the roads.

When I go racing, both drivers of both cars know the risk and there aren't any other cars on the road involved.
