Opposite I think. As Dom says, go racing or any track based activity and you go as fast as you can, in a controlled environment, you try doing that on the roads: Beep, beep - game over.
As soon as I started competing, I realised I had nothing to prove at the traffic lights any more. Now I keep all (well most - honest officer) the agression for the track.
Good, advanced rider taing makes it a lot safer on the road though.....
