Such a racetrack shifting style on the street may be costly without any benefit other than admittedly awesome snap crackle pop noises.
Its best to use brakes not clutch/gears to slow these cars on the street - unless you are descending a steep grade. Consider to stop downshifting to second like that? If you must do it do it maybe try it more slooooowly (?) - to give the 2 plates more time to match speed - shifter will engage easier?
Staying in 2nd gear in stop & go traffic can be fun and save on clutch - 2nd is good from a stop to about 75 mph .
rock on.
