When street racing starts to get heated, absolutely nothing is guaranteed. Even though some spots might have been prepared to be able to handle all of the power that the cars are going to lay down, you absolutely never know what to expect on the street. After all, if you go to the track, the situation is more controlled and the entire surface has been coated with some nice and sticky track prep that will allow cars to more easily grab and not slide around.
Everything from how a car is running and containing fluids all the way to the way that the track is prepared or how any mess is cleaned up could alter a driver’s course. This could potentially call for a more dangerous route. It’s not something that I think any racer would really wish on any other racer. However, it’s definitely something that does unfold every once in a while.
