Americans on track - one lap at a time buddy
Discussion
I’ve not seen anything like this before it’s a bit like automotive rodeo!
Take some big Yank V8’s, some Jap 4wd turbos and a whole bunch of crazy pick up trucks and race one lap at a time and see what happens - the crowd love it when they crash! But not as much as the commentator enjoys the mayhem.
We don’t have anything remotely like this in Europe, worth a watch just to believe it’s real.

Reminds me of a stock car meet near Southampton early 80's.
They used to allow spectators to try a timed lap in between races.
2 guys go onto the "in-field" in 1 of their father's pretty-much band-new Capri.,
Son goes round like a proper wuss in the slowest time ever.
He pulls back to the in-field while someone else has a go, meanwhile we can all see guys mate deep in conversation trying to blag a go round, Son eventually caves in & mate goes out on track.
You can guess the rest....... He completely stuffs it into the high tension barrier fencing leaving wreckage all over & a totally un driveable car that the track guys then have to remove with a HiAb!
Matey wasn't 'appy you might guess.

You know how YouTube has a habit of leading you from one thing to another...

Gotta love our American cousins sometimes though, especially the rednecked variant.
Figure 8 racing, what could possibly go wrong?

Love the comment, "he doesn't weigh as much as he did at the start of the race, he just lost about 5lb's there" Figure 8 racing, what could possibly go wrong?

The madness of the time trail ! They used to do it at newton aycliffe stock car track when I was a boy . Legend has it that someone stuffed an e type into the post once . They used to allow spectators to try a timed lap in between races.

If you search there's a spectator race on YouTube somewhere , a big haired man in a mustang convertible does quite well until being overtaken by an opal I think it was . Hot rod racer Barry lee is in the same race in a rolls Royce !
