I used to go to figure 8 races and love them. I found this on youtube and its nuts. The start is kinda mild. By 5 minutes its crazy and then all the way to the end. More of a demo derby than a race, lol I watched a crazier one a while back but cant find it. That one had some people pulling 3 trailers behind their truck. Anyway, enjoy... its an annual race I guess. looks like a lot of fun. You might have to back it up to the start.

There’s one out there where they just do nascar circle track at crazy speed and never let off if the trailers upside down or not

All looks like Friday afternoon at 3:30 pm around here

This popped up on my youtube feed last night. Looks like an awful fun crowd but theres some serious money involved. Barbie Jeep Racing, or tipping over they should say. i think its in Oklahoma but not positive. Skip a few minutes if you want to get right to the competition.
