Hmm don't know where to chime in, but will say that everyone with a vehicle, powerful or not, takes a chance every so often. Whether it's a race, speeding in above posted limit, going through a yellow light, attending a sanctioned race at the track, driving in in-climate weather, we takes chances daily when driving any motor vehicle. Others lives are our responsibility when we drive. There are many that have more money than sense and that's where the problem lies. If you can drive for crap normally, you damn shouldn't try to take a corner fast, drive in snow/ice, wet roads, etc. And damn shouldn't try pushing your car to it's limits on a city street full of people.
People with cars have raced since the invention of them! It's gone on for generations and will continue. There needs to be more sanctioned events closer to everyone so that the desire to race on public roads is reduced. It'll never disappear but can be substantially reduced. This isn't the case in many cities where guys/gals have to drive several hours to attend a couple hour track day!
The solution is not to argue with one another, yet do something positive to make a change in the sport and education of owners of high powered vehicles we all love. A training course of sorts! Not making it legal to race on the street by any means, yet providing these no driving fools with experience from some of us that know the ins and outs and care enough to share.
Our passion and pride will never let racing die, no matter where that race is held!
