At the HPDE level out here, I'd say over 90% are driving street cars that see regular street use.

It's a different world over there for sure. Come to think of it, not only have I not been to SoCal this year, I haven't been there ever. This year I only got as far West as COTA, South as far as Homestead and North as far as Palmer. Or maybe Watkins Glen or Road America is farther North? IDK, I'm too lazy to look at a map right now.
I think a qualifier about when you begin to possibly compromise street safety could be added. The driver needs to decide what's important to them. I've had cars that I drove on the street but drove them on the track more. For me the track safety was more important.
