You have to be smart about it. Choose open roads, not public streets. Not packed civilian areas. Hell, I wouldn't even try it on the freeway with just a few vehicles spread around me.
If you want to live, but die in a race, then go to the track. Have your car rigged to blow up halfway down the 1/4 mile. Chances are, if you wouldn't mind dying in a race, there's no telling who you'll take with you if you managed to get into a fatal accident. Granted you don't care about your OWN safety, that's pretty reckless to those around you. And no matter what you say, you can NEVER PREDICT the outcome of an accident with anybody around you on the streets.
In all honesty, be mature. If you want to enjoy street racing and the thrill, why not try to do it saftely. The longer the live, the longer you'll be racing for. Most of us here in this forum were doing it at your age, but the older your get the more intelligent you become from experience. But not just your own experience, you'll learn from those who surround you.
In the end, be smart about it all. Show some rationality to your decisions to race. Plus, if you think about it, dying in a race would only build more negative hype to the racing scene altogether. Which is the main reason why it is so frowned upon by communities everywhere. Also, think about your parents, family and friends would feel if you actually told them what you told us in here. Just don't be an idiot and go about things the right way.
