And blocking it for 5-10 minutes or so is probably quick enough for them to run then get out of there before cops.
The key is getting in and out quickly. Yes, it's chaotic, but it's also smart.
If you ever watch stunt videos, you'll often see them blocking off the freeway with 100+ bikes while the bikes in the front stunt. Same concept with street racing in big cities like that. You go in organized with a plan, and typically no one gets hurt or in trouble. It's illegal, but it's certainly better than racing from redlight to redlight on a high traffic road somewhere. Although it's dangerous to stop traffic behind them, at least they're not running with the potential of hitting other cars in the process.
