Point was, younger drivers don't have as much experience or always the best judgement.
We all probably drove fast as teens, especially when we got our hands on our friend's parents MB's and Jags (XJS). Guess we were lucky; no major mishaps.
You just seem to here about too many crashes where racing was involved.
The idea isn't bad; why not do it during the day and find some road where you know there's no surprises/obstacles or other bad conditions.

I agree...By the time someone realises that what they did was not the best of ideas, it's usually too late for them and sometimes others as well. Which is worse, dying instantly in a car crash or surviving one but ending up paralyzed from the neck down for the rest of your life?
