This is so funny. "i dont know where they found a seat big enough to hold that sack!" "i hope you brought your xanax cuz your gonna need to pop a couple to get through this race" "the first taste is free. its like a good drug, we give you the first taste free" LMAO this guy is a fucking savage!!!
@@torrystiles8848 your a beast. i respect your political incorrectness. i dont know how they got a seat to hold your sack with all these liberal SJW PC Nutcases running around lmao.
@@Noggin41 Relax kiddo or you'll blow your load for the 17th time today. You want to know how they got a seat? It's low-budget tv, he bring his own seat and on top of that; it's one of the smallest sacks on earth 👌
@@bentunny8978 This. I grew up watching it every year, raced my first race in 2017; I wasn't ready. Nothing can explain how tight and flat the track is, and how bad the visibility coming out of the turns are. It's insane. Can't wait to be back in 2023! You've won quite a few big ones since this comment!
Too much money in these cars. Back in the 80's when they had 70-75 cars show up, it wasn't unusual for 55-60 cars on the track in the last half of the race. Then things could easily get abused. Once your been on the track as a starter or an alternate, you could come in and out of the pits as needed. That's where the cars would add up.
@@xmbdesign7421 They can be, but with how short the acceleration zones are you'll be better off with something with less cylinders, or electric (though with races like this I'd stay away from that for weight safety reasons).You can do just as well with an engine from a Subie or Porsche: compact but still nice and powerful.
@@bentunny8978 Speed in this case is all of my points combined. V8s are heavier than say a straight-six, while (possibly) making more power than you can actually use and using more fuel to do so. I understand V8s are easy to come by and cheap because of mass production, and sound good, but with a good deal for engine provider you can get some lightweight speed that sounds good. Then again, can't name an American company that makes I6s so there'd very likely be import charges :P
We don't have figure 8 tracks in my state anymore, so it's cool to see what these are like (along with various other kinds of races), love your channel. 🏁🏎
This is a great racing event. I'm from new England and we don't have any figure 8 stuff anymore. I remember in the '80's watching it at Claremont speedway in New Hampshire with about 35 cars on a figure 8 course on the 1/3 mile. Super fun and tense action. There is one thing though- these guys need to learn the meaning of a RED flag. It means STOP!! I saw cars moving at least 35-40 seconds or more after the red and that's just unacceptable. There could be injury or someone in a precaution position and it delays the safety crew from responding.
Yea i know they could never run here, it was a joke. they are to Aero dependent and, i dont think the bumper could make it up the lip going into the turns. Can you just imagine a 40 car field running 500 laps or something, that would be awesome
Now a really good idea for NASCAR is it to build a 3 Mile highbank figure eight. s Split the field in have one pack starts in turn 1and 2, the other pack starts in 3 and 4. The run a restrictor-plate race last one still rolling wins
I would love to see this race shot without a cameraman in static long shot taking in the entire track. Then you would see the skills, tactics and mistakes that each driver is making at each point of the course.

Some hard hits at the cross over,some hesitation before the big crash 🤦🏻♂️ hope everyone's ok. Next on my list is to Race out there in indiana with the big boys, speedrome here I come ! thank u low budget tv. For the coverage & For all u do 📹📽📱🖥👍🏁🏁🏁 #Figure8mafia
The purpose of our type of figure 8 racing is NOT to crash into each other. This isn’t a sideshow. Our race cars are worth quite a Bit of money. That’s what makes this type of figure 8 racing so damn exciting, not only racing the cars through the turn, but try not to get hit through the cross over.
It's not the crashes, but the _lack_ of crashes that makes this so exciting. Most of the caution flags are for pileups in the turns as drivers jockey for position.
imagine being the guy that has to score this and keep track of where everyone is. they have lap down, half lap down, lead lap. imagine scoring this for 3 HOURS! go to 16:30 to see what i am talking about.
Imagine the wealth of small electronics (for mounting on/in the car), software solutions and other 'do-daats' at your disposal to alleviate such a simple headache. Or lets stop imagining it's a one man job.
Figure 8 racing, lol, I first know about this in an extreme sports show in AXN back in 2003... America really has a weird culture. Figure 8 tracks in the rest of the world always involve an overpass and an underpass, but never with paths crossed.
Thats all that tire dope. Soaked in softening compound and wrapped in cellophane for weeks. You can damn near scoop tread off with your hands come race day.
Fire me up i like the idea but id Run figure 8 for 6 hours with the crown vics or rangers so the fans have something to watch (intersection) instead of counting laps. They do one in Indiana that's 3 hours
Yeeeeeeh haaaaw, there's not enough possible crashin in naskurr so we invented this shit! Gotta keep myself entertained somehow when I'm not fukin me sisturrr.
Watched an hour and got frustrated with the announcer and the cameraman. This race is LONG! No need to follow the leader like it’s a NASCAR race. Seems both the announcer and cameraman could learn a lesson from watching a few porn movies. Announcer: the more a porn star talks, the less believable the scene. Less is always more in a sport like this. Give us the updates from time to time, tell us a few funny stories in the meantime. That’s about all a race like this really needs. The rest is pretty much self explanatory until about 20 minutes to go. At that point... feel free to do the horse race announcer thing :) Camera,an: there is such a thing as the “money shot.” That’s what people pay to see. They don’t pay to see the buildup, then cut to the wet sheets afterwords. Pan it out, and take a 3 hour break. This shit sells itself. The cameraman literally followed the lead car like this was a NASCAR race. This ain’t no NASCAR race. The real action in a race like this is in the crossover when it becomes constantly active. This guy... oh he was following the lead car and then cut away to wet sheets. “Oh look, a crash.” Hey, don’t be mad at me for my comparison... the announcer started it, “It’s like a good drug. The first taste is free, then you got pay.”
2:02:52 is how NOT to film a wreck... what kinda shit camera work was that to think i wasted any time on this is just crazy. Hmm i wonder what people wanna see in a figure 8 race is it the intersection the only thing that makes this unique or is it the leader? and also lets change cameras right when two people hit theyll love that, you apparently
The announcer must be undee a restraining order from a microphone! He is disrespectful some comments pack alot of sexual meanings there is kids watching not forgetting his drug issues as he keeps mentioning them! WTH i liked the race but i stopped watching because of this guy. Being behind a microphone brings a lot of responsibility with.
