These guys are criminals.
I'm guessing the average street racer doesn't have triple redundant police scanners, real-time traffic data navigation equipment, night vision equipment and a spotter plane. Not to mention they don't drive all that fast, as mileage is almost as important as speed.

Of course what they do is illegal as is street racing. The difference is Alex takes monumental measures to mitigate danger both to himself and others. If I'm driving, I'd rather have Alex pass me safely at 100 MPH than be next to a soccer mom in an Expedition with underinflated tires talking on the phone.
