you should watch it in person. friggin' hilarious when the clouds of fiberglass dust and smoke come wafting through the air. there's also schoolbus fig-8, three-car-train fig-8 (front car is power unit and last car is a steer-car - no kidding!) along with the usual competition classes. first time I saw this stuff I thought "oh, how redneck" but developed an appreciation for it, as I was laughing so damned hard I couldn't sit straight. good entertainment!
