Excellent point. The difference is that seldom is a mountain run taken as a competition. So, the perceived stakes are much lower and drivers aren't as prone to succumbing to the "red mist" that can occur when racing (whether it's on track or on the street). I think it's the desire to win that pushed street racing to point where drivers begin making really, really bad decisions that compromise everyone's safety.
