Figure eight racing
I didn't know there was such a thing until 5 minutes ago.
Interesting concept.

trailer racing is the epitome of figure 8 racing. the goal is to maintain your trailer, but knock off the competitors trailers:
the local track used to do a 'wreckfest' twice a year that finished with trailer racing. great redneck entertainment. at least until an 'upscale' subdivision got built directly behind the track and they incessantly complained about the track noise until they got it shut down a few years ago.

I thought that amusing for a few minutes. The track needs a bit a clean-up by the end.

I think they do those races with retired school buses too.

Only car racing I've actually seen in person was when my second cousin was racing figure-8. It was amusing, but also very strange.

Experienced that at Islip Speedway on Long Island, NY back in the early 70s. It is cringe worthy. I enjoyed the Modifieds which also ran there much more.

People can't help but attempt to try to control what everyone else is doing, by their own specific standard.
