People could die.

Something about this reminds me of when notfarnow posted photos of one of his vehicles catching on fire.

Somebody responded with something like, "Do you have a permit for that bonfire, sonny?"

It was one of those Higgins-turd-hopper moments (for me).

Fantastic!!! I suspect all drivers ate mud and buggers at an early age.

Around here I have seen the Knights of Destruction and School Bus Racing.

I am not very enamored with the FIA or NASCAR so was hunting motorsport not under their broad wings.

The lorry races are pretty good.

The lawn mower races scare me, I just see too much that can go wrong with them. They did an exhibition on the paved front stretch oval at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Watching one go on two wheels as they exited a corner near a concrete wall was a bit queasy to spectate.

Local tracks also do something where you only get your two driven wheels as wheels and the two non driven wheels skids are attached instead.

On a paved track that is one sparky event.

But the boat trailer races were new to me, I must have been under a rock when they came up with that one.

Good stuff, but a little slow. Maybe it was just the snoozy camera work. I remember as a kid thinking that the "crash up derby" was the coolest thing ever. My inner 5 year old loves this stuff:







I don't know why. I know Vash is the man, but when I saw the guy on the bike at :30 secs in this next one, I thought of Vash.

I think the guy pulling the RV might not pass the post-race technical inspection.
