Stop showing parts of the video at the beginning! Faaaarrrrkk

I really wish Reddit started banning these fuckers non-stop. Same with the idiots that self-censor common words.

I love how this is a game you would make up with your friend when you’re 9 year old but Americans do it and it’s a fully sponsored event with thousands of spectators.

Someone else mentioned "flyover states" but, even if you don't know about California and Florida, you know Texas isn't a "flyover" state, right? These things are in state fairs ALL FUCKING OVER you just don't know about them because you don't give a shit.

29

u/Blutroyale-_- 1d ago

The way the van rolled it and the roof didn't crush, more than likely.

3

u/Xxxrasierklinge7 1d ago

Maybe a roll cage but I've seen cars flip like that and not get crushed so 🤷‍♀️

12

u/TheSessionMan 1d ago

100%. Like all above-the-books Motorsports events every car would need to pass a safety check and wouldn't be allowed to compete if they failed. Insurance and liability reasons. Looks like every car here has a roll cage, so that suggests that rollover protection is part of the minimum requirements.

1

u/mavric91 10h ago

They usually are. Races like this they typically take junk yard cars and prep them: anything that could break and cover the track is removed, like side window glass and headlights. These likely have roll cages and potential racing seats and harnesses bolted in. They often usually have racing certified fuel cells too that are explosion/fire resistant. They bolt them into the trunk and remove the oem gas tank. After the race the seats, fuel cells and even roll cage are removed to stick into the next car and the car is sent off to the junkyard to be scrapped.

I love local speedways. My favorite was the train races where 2 cars are chained together and race in figure 8s. I think the front car has engine but no brakes and the back has brakes but no engine

u/c08306834 1d ago

This is the most American thing I have ever seen.

u/Active-Treat7555 1d ago

Would a FWD or RWD be more advantageous for this

10

u/Dr0110111001101111 1d ago

I'd guess FWD because you can lay off the throttle as soon as the front wheels are on. Then you can ease the rest of the car on slowly, relative to the flatbed.

With RWD, you need to give it a lot of gas right up until the whole car is on, at which point you need to kind of abruptly stop or you'll crash into the back of the truck and possibly bounce right off the bed.

u/R2D-Beuh 1d ago

Fwd is generally more stable so I guess that, but idk

6

u/Phoenixloop2868 1d ago

Plus with rwd you can have power on the road while the trailer is turning and driving at a slightly different speed, probably at a different angle that the front wheels are at. I feel like that's probably not going to work out too well, but I really don't know.

1

u/13THEFUCKINGCOPS12 1d ago

Going to depend on the driver, but most people will ultimately feel more comfortable driving FWD where most cars on the road are FWD

1

u/Hnry_Dvd_Thr_Awy 1d ago

I think it'd be up to driver's preference tbh. I can see advantages for either.

i love shit like this. i grew up by the now torn down rockford speedway in illinois, and they were always doing stuff like this. figure 8 trailer races (you won by being the last person with a trailer), figure 8 school bus races, train races (3 cars chained together, person in the front car steers, person in the back car controls the throttle and brake).

i miss it. wholesome family redneck shit.

I feel like the goal is completed once the car has stopped moving on the trailer.

I'm not sure that it's on purpose as much as the sharp turns tend to naturally slosh the car off if it isn't centered on there good
