The regional 1 mile oval does these a few times a year on their pit road. They usually coordinate it with a local law enforcement agency so you can run against LEOs if you want.
It is not at all targeted towards dedicated drag racers who ready know where their local tracks are. This is for the stop light drags crowd who still have a conscious about what they are doing or those guys who bought a sport/performance car that don't want to deal with a drive to and the requirements for NHRA participation where they are first round fodder for 2-3x the cost. in the milwaukee wisconsin area. they do this at the milwaukee mile a couple of times a year. they also do a organized "street racing" every Thursday' night ', I THINK, at the Washington county fail grounds . the "TRACK" is supposed to be about 1 block long. no trailered cars allowed and the cars must be 100% street legal.
perception is 90% of reality

That would have moved most of the "street" racing that took place in my home town back when I was 18 from off the streets to someplace much safer. There would have been an endless stream of challengers competing on most Fri & Sat nights through out the summer months.
Have no idea if that would work these days or not, not so sure the current street racing is block to block. Judging from the marks on some streets around here, it appears the "new" track should look more like an intersection where they can see how many doughnuts they can do before they exceed the car's power level, or they exceed the driver's abilities, or some moron hanging out the window recording the event falls out. So true. There will still be a large percentage who will continue their ways of causing mayhem & chaos.

Ah, memories. Some enterprising souls actually measured off a quarter mile and painted start/finish lines on a good straight road next to our local Metro Airport. People would monitor the stop sign and shut down activity if there was traffic there. Area has since been built up as an industrial park.

And also memories in Florida as of 2021 and as of 2023 now includes even recording via cell phone as participation as an included infraction, briefly:
"DEFINITION OF ‘RACING ON HIGHWAYS’ The offense of Racing on Highways, or ‘Street Racing,’ is defined in Section 316.191, Florida Statutes. Broadly speaking, ‘Racing’ can include four categories of conduct:

Here in Illinois, the state used to require that guardrails be installed for 1/4 mile each side of a bridge. And most bridges were concrete. We had a bridge or two that were our favorite 'tracks'. Good starting line traction and the quarter was already marked, courtesy of the state of Illinois.
Come to think about it, that was the last thing that libtard run Illinois has done for us.
Master, again and still
