Your friends wrapped "their shit" around trees and poles because they didn't take the necessary precautions prior to their joy ride. Probably didn't know how to react if something interfered with the race as well. In the locations we tested our cars, there's no way we could wreck our cars, simply no way. If we got a flat, pull over. If a deer jumped out, hit it or swerve if no one is beside you. If you lose control for whatever reason, don't oversteer or understeer and keep your cool.
And yes, I've been in multiple situations where I lost control of my car (for whatever reason, hydroplane, tires locked up, someone pulled out in front of me) and successfully contained the situation without any harsh results. I know how to drive.
I doubt we would lose control on a mile long stretch of straight expressway, though. And if we did, there are guard rails.
I appreciate your concern but you are still stereotyping us with the masses who street race. We do this in a controlled environment with no bystanders.
