Coming from someone who will street race and has spent 6 years of my life road racing, it helps tremendously. The problem is most street racers and drag racers are too ignorant to figure out how to sign up, and how good it is. I've recruited almost all of my friends and many friends i've met street racing out to where the real racing is and it's like loosing their car virginity all over again. If I didn't have the freedom I did on the track i'm sure i'd have to find it by bending the traffic laws
