I wonder if there is a lack of legal drag strips in that area. A lot of those guys might be willing to take it to the track where that type of driving belongs, if they have the option.

If you auction the car off, one of the same people is going to buy it, and it may very well end up right back in the hands of the person who had it confiscated. Crushing is permanent, and it would be fun to watch.

I don't think that more tracks would lessen the desire to show off on the road. Maybe for the more responsible crowd, but they are probably not the ones getting caught or killed. I grew up with a couple drag strips nearby, with open run-what-you-brung classes, and if anything it fueled the desire to head on down to the Berlin Turnpike on Friday and Saturday nights for illegal street drags.
