It certainly is, and I saw it on the weekend.

My MG doctor - one of the finest around - races a 'B in the SuperSprint
series here and his little car has full-on racing slicks well over trac
(sticking miles out the sides).  The only hassle he had recently was the
shearing off of a number of wheel studs (they get a lot of strain as you
would imagine).

It certainly wouldn't be allowed on the roads but gee it is QUICK!

So I guess where there is a will....
