On the other hand street racing is illegal and dangerous and should never be promoted.
When I was a kid it was a game of mine to try to goad the idiots into a race that I wasn't going to do. The trick was to give just enough acceleration that the other guy would take the bait as a race. I suppose there were a few fellows claiming kills on my cars ('68 GT 500 Shelby, '69 Mach 1 (that I won the NORPAC division in my class in '72 in), and '67 Sunbeam Tiger).
In a street race you never know just what kind of effort the other guy is making. He may just be trying to see how fast your car really is. Makes me laugh to myself anytime someone claims a street "kill".
