While I agree that it is a dumb thing to do, I have done it before. I believe that some people do it more so because there isn't anything around them. Around here the closest track is more than a few hours a way. and that is for anytype of racing. drag or road. people drive fast on mountain roads probably faster than they should without knowing whats around the next corner, which in my opinion is worse than driving a little faster in a straight line
