NONE of the others mention performing these acts on the street, therefore they are not anti-social, rather they are sanctioned sports/competitions.

ah... me thinks your wrong...

“burn outs” - when the rear tyres of
a vehicle are spun until they heat
and smoke;
- “donuts” - when the driver turns the
front tyres until the steering is fully
locked during a burn out, so that the
car rotates and a circular (donut)
pattern of tread marks remains on
the road surface;
- “drifting” - when a vehicle slides
sideways through a turn taken at
high speed;
- unnecessary speed or acceleration;
and
- “speed trials” - when the
acceleration and top-speed
capability of a vehicle and/or the
skill of its driver are tested, usually
on a straight road of a set distance,
sometimes to establish or break
records.

These are all illegal on the road....
I do have issue with the "slow cruising" which isnt hooning, but is hooning...
I was on a sanctioned cruise (123 cars) on Sunday with 4 police vehicles in tow.
Due to the heavy traffic we all went slow along the strand in our modified cars.... dear oh dear (and the cops were good, all went well)
