Ive been doing the street thing since I was 17 in my DSM. I just started going to the track too but its 40-45m away and costs a lot for a lot of sitting around. Nothing beats the street IMO.

In the past and right now it's been drag racing.
Starting at the end of this month it will be Auto-X for the first time.
And i would love nothing more then to do road racing, but i don't really know how to get into it, and it's expensive.

I myself am more of a drag racer....but there is something about hitting some back roads and just having some fun. I have never been to a track day or auto x allthough ive spent most of my time being a dsmer only worried about going in a straight line lol I am ready to try a few different things out.

when there's a clearing and you can over look the city, that kind of scenery really stands out from the scenary you come across in everyday city driving.

I dont drive the thing. I just look at it. Once in a while I get it and pretend I am doing all the above, 30 minutes later I get out tired and ready for a nap. Actually I enjoy all of those things. I really like touge, since a bunch of us roll are the same time.

For me, I either drive safely on the street...or I drive on a race track. I save my tail-out antics for the race track where they belong. I don't feel much of an "adrenaline rush" from risking other people's lives on public roads.
Plus, all the money you save from traffic violations buys you more race pads and R-compounds

touge is dangerous, i know from first hand experience and many second hand experience accounts. and i'm not talkin' about pussyfootin' it around some mountain twisties. i come from the home of mulholland race way and in the end, i can't afford to drive touge. no run off and dirt will always put you somewhere you don't wanna be for the next 4 months, whether it's in the hospitol and the aftermath associated with that (bills), body shop and the aftermath associated with that (getting things perfect again), etc.
that said you can push it as hard as you want on autocross will next to 0 consequences.
i also enjoy roadracing.
