Hey Raggie-another neat race I remember was figure 8 racing with old school buses. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I used to like to watch truck races.

Semi's that is. No trailers, but full sized diesels. I think they were popular in Australia.

Also, the Paris-Dakar Rally has a class for large trucks. These thinks look kinda like garbage trucks -- they are that big or larger - -and they race several hundred miles through the sands of northern Africa. Neat to see them get big time air as they come over the dunes.

Also, back in the 70's or 80's there was a demolition derby run for charity. Cadillacs, Rolls Royces, and IIRC, a Ferrari or two.

The last truly insane race I watched was Busses running a figure 8. Not me baby!

I think you were watching spike tv, I cant recall the name of that show, but its like 8 people paired off where they race junk cars, cars towing boats, cars towing furniture, driving backwards and school buses. I like the bikini racer and her mom myself.

I recently watched a type of racing that was truly nuts.Drag boat racing.Blown nitro power.At 200mph the water is about as hard as steel.

Raggie,

I went and saw live drag boats a year or two ago...

Let me tell you, them guys are INSANE! (and it ain't exactly sane to be right at waters edge as they go by at 150+)
