I am not anywhere close to being afraid to "chirp" a tire...the reason most kids don't do it is becuase thanks to the 50's and the 60's the laws on street racing have become much more harsh and the technology the police use has increased just a bit. Back then you could get in a few races before the cops show up. Today you rev your engine at an intersection and your getting a ticket. Not to mention the increase in suburban area's where traffic is bad and the closest isolated straight is usually 30 minutes away. So its not so much about being afraid as it is being smart...you just have a few dumb kids like me who don't hesitate to smoke out a town. Around my house we have a state park with a huge flood plain so its super flat and straig for a few miles and only one way in. We can usually race there for about 30 minutes a weekend before a cop shows up.
