Frankly, many people THINK they know how to handle a RWD at the limit when they absolutely do not. My track days have humbled me...I've done 7 and realize I'm very much a novice driver in the track world. Driving with VDC off on the track is certainly more risky but it's a controlled environment where you can learn what it's like at the limit. You can be more conservative on dangerous turns (eg walls near the track edge) and more aggressive on safe turns (nothing but flat open field surrounding the track). If you turn off VDC while street driving and something unexpected happens, you'll be very sorry when you wreck your car, wondering if VDC would have saved you. The street is an unpredictable place and you're never going to be 100% alert all the time. On the track, you're much more focused and there aren't as many variables.
