Default 3rd gear or Drive?

I was wondering if its better to leave it in 3rd gear or Drive when racing. Not quarter mile lengths but more like highway racing or just racing for a short distance when the traffic light goes green etc. etc. Thanks!

My street experience is to stay in 3rd for short jonts and sub-100 freeway fighting.

There's a thread on the topic that says there's no difference for track, but then again, that's track...
