Driving techniques are exactly the same if driving at the limit whether on track or street. The difference is only that you cannot feasibly drive most modern performance cars at the limit on the street unless it is closed for that purpose.
Driving safely on the street (at any speed) requires orders of magnitude more skill than driving on a track. Ask any racing driver.

This was my point right there ^.
If you are driving at the limit on the street you are driving wrong.
If you are not driving at the limit on the track you are also doing it wrong.
Many of the techniques used on the track should be reserved for the track.
