What you're describing is the every day reality but what you WANT is that if your implementation has a race condition, then you want a test that 100% of the time detects that there is a race condition (rather than 1% of the time).
If your test can deterministically result in a race condition 100% of the time, is that a race condition? Assuming that we're talking about a unit test here, and not a race condition detector (which are not foolproof).
