I entered in a street style race at the local dragstrip. Basically they run the races starting at the finish line of the drag strip and race an 1/8th mile down the shutdown area. Do it's run on asphalt that has never been prepped. So it's the closest you can get to racing on the street without the risk of jail etc.
The race itself was kind of a bust. Since my Model 3 Performance is all wheel drive the rules for the event mandated that I run in the big tire class. So all the cars in my class were on racing slicks that head a larger diameter than 28in and/or wider than 10.5 in. So the first round I ended up racing a maverick race car running on nitrous. I lost pretty badly. But after being eliminated from the competition I was able to run some grudge races.
One of the races I set up was with a Challenger Hellcat Redeye. I'm not sure what all was done to it but it was at least basic bolt ons. He was running on some Mickey Thompson drag radials. We did 2 races. The first one I blew his doors off. The second race was a lot closer because at the start my object aware acceleration safety feature picked up the guy starting the race and the car was Really slow off the line until I passed the starter. So the Hellcat got a pretty good jump ahead of me.
But here is the first race.
