I've walked this earth for 56 years, how in the hell did I ever miss this type of race? I'm not even a race fan and this is awesome! I will never look at trucks, trailers and figure 8's the same way again.
They have figure 8 races with 3 cars chained together and the front car is in charge of either brakes or acceleration and the rear car is in charge of the opposite of the front. They have full on bus races on a figure 8
Probably due to the stands being harder to clean up cause of the seats while with the track it's big and open and "easy'' to clean they probably use a bulldozer to get the main stuff then a street cleaner to get the little bits
Please bring this down to Rockingham…….I got a buddy who said we could borrow their camper, and my brother in law just bought a new Ford! He said I could take it drive it anytime!
We drove over 6 hours to witness this madness and it was even better than we'd imagined! K9 and Pyro Squirrel Motorsports are the winners in our hearts, can't wait for next year!!!!!
Somewhere there's somebody wondering what happened to their Trailer when they went to buy smokes at the Gas Station. "I dunno, I was just gone like 15 minutes and I came back an muh trailer was gone"
What a symphony of destruction! I enjoyed every last minute. The courage, the fortitude, the heart it takes to put yourself out there and become one with the absolute idiocy of it all! Thank you for sharing. You made my day! 😊
I grew up in rural W. Michigan but then have moved to the suburbs in Indiana and 2 places in Ohio.... A girlfriend from Indiana invited me to stay with her and her children for a couple weeks.... One weekend she took the family and I to a "Motor Madness" event at a nearby racetrack. We watched short track racing, demolishem derby and figure 8 events and had a great time! -- I had been surrounded by those uptight suburbanites for so long.... I forgot how nice the country folk really are! :-D
Coming from someone who lived a few blocks from the Indy 500 for several years and grew up watching dune buggy, dirt bike, indy car, nascar, and hotrod racing I have to say I have never seen anything like this.
I’m fourteen seconds in. And I feel like I don’t need to see the rest because I know exactly what is going to happen. I also feel like it’s going to be the best video I watch all day. Cheers to whoever thought of this.
Police: Sir, we found your stolen vr. Victim: Wonderful! My family and I can end our vacation on a high note. Is it damaged? Police: Eeeuuuuh !!! Victim: Where is she? Police: ...
@@brucekiszely2995 A big magnet might work for the small metal stuff toward the end of the cleanup. The best thing to happen would be for scrapper's to come and get most of it for free.
I've been missing out all this time! I love Wreckfest, specially the modes where it's similar to this. I am surprised this actually exists. I need to go to one of these events one day!
This has been going on at Mendips Raceway in Somerset England for years. It is called "Caravan Racing" (the British name for trailers) and I watched it with a buddy in 2009. It was fun to see. In Corpus Christi Texas at South Texas Speedway they have "Boat Racing" where old boats are substituted for the trailers. Lots of fiberglass all over the track. I recommend sitting high in the stands when viewing any of these events. Larry Heagren Canyon Lake, TX
I went to the Rockford Speedway in the late 1970s on a cross country trip and we were lucky to show up the night they had an event like this. One of my best childhood memories is seeing this carnage in person. Im so happy to see they still doing this event.
I think that's part of the beauty of this discipline. The trailer not only adds an element of challenge to driving, but also serves as spectacle as an obstacle that must be dealt with accordingly.
Crazy fun for both the driver's and the fans. The last remaining two were pretty stout trucks to have taken all that abuse. Going to take a while to clean up the track but it was worth it judging by the turnout. Good job on the video.
Absolutely the best F8 I’ve ever seen bar none! When that chevy truck drove thru the tag along trailer it lit the place off. And the mean lookin truck there at the end that just kept goin like the energizing bunny was awesome. Them boys just wouldn’t quit! Thanks for sharing!
I love it. An immigrant here, been living in the great USA for 17 years now. Best country in the world. I wish something like this was around Georgia state to take my boys there!
Just curious, what influenced you to arrive here? My parents are immigrants themselves and they came here to provide a better future for me and my siblings.
This is like a remnant from the 1970s when people still liked to have dangerous stupid fun, the commentator even sounds like he's straight from the territory wrestling days.
Thank you for posting this, I smiled and then cringed at the close calls. We live in Ohio and we are now planning a road trip. Congratulations to 188 !
LOL at the announcer at the end asking the crowd to make sure to throw away their trash while standing in the absolute carnage around him
Yep, I thought that was funny too. Who would know the difference? He must be used to saying that after regular racing and it just slipped out.
@@JT-SE-OHIO No, he is talking to the crowd who are usually a bunch of pigs that leave their trash in the stands for the workers.
I thought he was going to tell the fans to come down to the track and clean up the aftermath. 😂
😂😂
haha
When you bring the whole trailer park to the races and you tell the wife. Our house is WINNING TONIGHT!!
A camper and mobile home are 2 different things lol
@@d.moondogg4111 you can find either one of them in a trailer park

GOD I love this country.....we need this in the Olympics ....this is awesome. Im addicted!
I have never seen this either I'm 63
This is what the elite coasties call "flyover country"....lol. IDK why, it's where all the FUN is!
You should try school bus figure 8 racing on YT. It's a real hoot! 👏👍👏
7:17 "There's starting to be a little debris on the track"
Understatement of the century!
Just a little bit 😅
..and don't forget to take your trash when you leave.... love it
Probably due to the stands being harder to clean up cause of the seats while with the track it's big and open and "easy'' to clean they probably use a bulldozer to get the main stuff then a street cleaner to get the little bits
After watching the entire video, don't let anyone tell me this is not a great Country.
Rockford is a great American blue collar town with a bunch of earthy peeps.
Yet these are the people that the media, colleges and government demonize ...
Public education brought us here.
thats how we roll
I love thee races. The Dutch have been doing these races for years.
The announcer told them not to stand there in turn 4 and they found out why he said that 😂
Looks like Labor Day at the boat ramp to me!
Lol
🤣
Facts
A moment of silence for all the drivers who lost their homes.
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen! It’s definitely on my bucket list. Thank you for sharing
i came across this after a couple beers tonight. epic race!!!!
Bucket List for sure!
Please bring this down to Rockingham…….I got a buddy who said we could borrow their camper, and my brother in law just bought a new Ford! He said I could take it drive it anytime!
Hilarious! 😂
"New Ford" RIP
Rockingham NC?
You must be a Chevy guy 😁
lol "borrow" :-D
Brings a whole new meaning to “trailer trash”.
You get a thousand points for that!
That was absolutely epic. I’ve never seen such destruction.
Check out "Banger Racing" or Russian dash camera footage.
its trash waste u wasting human
We drove over 6 hours to witness this madness and it was even better than we'd imagined! K9 and Pyro Squirrel Motorsports are the winners in our hearts, can't wait for next year!!!!!
This is my first time watching a trailer race. I AM HOOKED!
@@LameWolff Hey Buddy, School Bus figure eights are just as good too. Watch 'em if you haven't, I'm sure you'll like it!
@@leftylou6070 Watched one after posting this. The boat tow or what ever they called it also. Great fun.

I've got to see this before I die. This is incredible
Can we get these boys a youtube rep? They really need to get some more attention this is better than NASCAR!
What a symphony of destruction! I enjoyed every last minute. The courage, the fortitude, the heart it takes to put yourself out there and become one with the absolute idiocy of it all! Thank you for sharing. You made my day! 😊
The sillier the car, the better the racing. That's why NASCAR should start racing Geo Metros
@@cbj4sc1 Likewise, the slower the car, the better the racing. These vehicles shouldn't be flying above 100 mph too often given the track length.
its trash waste u wasting human
You paid for the whole seat but you'll only need the edge! God bless America.
Wow! I’m dying laughing at this. Incredible is all I can say! Insanely great entertainment!
nice c900 pic
That's the craziest stuff I ever seen lol

Who doesn't dream of something like this stuck in traffic during 4th of July weekend. Thanks for making dreams, a reality.
I always loved to play Twisted Metal game as a kid and teen, so watching this brings back so many feelings of joy as you crush your enemy's car!
I play a game on Steam called Wreckfest. It's 100% like the game! LoL
He said at the beginning for nobody to stand in turn 4...well we almost saw why lol
I mean I get this isn't professional or anything, but this man's commentary is hilarious. Good race!
It looks like an F5 tornado ran through a trailer park
Coming from someone who lived a few blocks from the Indy 500 for several years and grew up watching dune buggy, dirt bike, indy car, nascar, and hotrod racing I have to say I have never seen anything like this.
Indianapolis Speedrome is fun.
Drive across town to Kitley Speedrome. They have trailer figure 8's and school bus 8's.
I’m fourteen seconds in. And I feel like I don’t need to see the rest because I know exactly what is going to happen. I also feel like it’s going to be the best video I watch all day. Cheers to whoever thought of this.
Easily one of the best trailer races I’ve seen. Full of great hits and action
"the track is closed once we uh...get everyone situated" which also means "we have no idea how the hell were gonna clean all this shit up"
this is some of the coolest stuff i've ever seen. thanks for sharing!
Living proof that people will pay to see anything race.
Maybe the funniest and most dangerous thing I've ever seen.
That was more organized than the Afghanistan withdrawal, everyone should have gotten a trophy.
This is officially on my Bucket List to do. Freakin Awesome!.
This was the BEST time I've had in a while...
Great for a family fun night!!
THANKS FOR SHARING

wow this is insane! I'm always curious how they clean this all up later
Lol, I was thinking the same thing!!, Not just the camper debris, the bolts , screws, and misc. Metal!!
I was there and the guy said it takes 3 days to clean all of it up!
@@KiritoAnime-vp6ec wow!!, I bet, LOL
One piece at a time probably.

Pretty sure that one trailer was Hunters crack den.
3:19 is what you’re here for
That’s definitely the best hit I’ve ever seen in one of these races.
I've been missing out all this time! I love Wreckfest, specially the modes where it's similar to this. I am surprised this actually exists. I need to go to one of these events one day!
@Jacob King Sweet thx for the info! :D
Was never into racing, this is awesome
So This is why i can't find a cheap project camper trailer to fix up.
You could probably find one REAL cheap after the race.
This reminds me of showing up at the campground on a weekend day😂
Is this the Freedom Factory? lol

The real heroes of this race are the trailer hitches. HOW are some of those still holding on after all that crashing and twisting??

If you love this, like I do and we do, you are an American. 100%
That bearded mans enthusiasm for his fellow winner shows the true winner in himself. He looked happier than the guy that actually won! 😂
True sportsmanship!
I love the “repurpose” aspect! Why scrap or send your broken trailer to the landfill… they’re like “NAH!!! WE’LL TAKE IT OFF YOUR HANDS!!!” 😂😂😂
An honorable death
This will be in the 2024 Summer Olympics.
@5:00 "HOW DID HE NOT HIT IT? oh yeah, he stopped" 😂😂😂
WHO CLEANS THAT UP
This looks so fun!!! to watch... LMAO Id be shitting bricks if I was in this lol
There s starting to be a little bit a debris on the track he says 7 minutes in lol
Need this in Portland OR for all the homeless
As a fellow Oregonian, we should reopen or open a new Portland Speedway.
This is like a remnant from the 1970s when people still liked to have dangerous stupid fun, the commentator even sounds like he's straight from the territory wrestling days.
We have this where I live as well. I-70 on any Friday.
Whoever came up with this is pure GENIUS! I could drink a cooler of Budweiser and watch this all night…..lol.
LOL, BEST TRAILER RACE EVER!!!!,👍🇺🇲
Those fireworks in the beginning were absolute killer 🤦♂️
Someone crossed the border into Wisco and picked up two their best show in a box for twenty bucks. Yes, killer. What do you expect. Only the best.
I was blinded by delight
I have witnessed all three of my kids births, sunrises, sunsets etc. All rubbish! This is pure beauty!
First time I smiled in a week

I’ve gotta get tickets for this next year!
Announcer @ the end of the wreckage:"Thanks again fans don't forget when you leave throw away the trash "
Where are these guys gonna live now?
With some Bondo and JB Weld it's not a problem.
seeing this in person and as my first this was absolute mayhem in the best way possible
Haven’t seen one of those before, thanks for sharing!
Literally laughing my ass off 🤣🤣🤣
This is too epic.
6:20 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I can't believe the commentator told the crowd to pick up their trash LOL
Monaco should drop Formula 1 and have this instead.
Looks like Friday night headed for the campground.
who doesn’t love a race, that turn into a crash-up derby! freakin AWESOME ✅. 😜
How about a round of 👏 for the cleanup crew?
That is pretty cool. Never saw anything like this before. Lynn and Danny
that was awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like good clean environmentally friendly fun.
Re defines the term Trailer Trash
Never see post malone so happy to win something

"Slack-jawed"
That could have been someone’s home . It still had a few decades of use . Wasteful not .

When announcer kills an event. Yup. This is a fine example. 2 Bit Tony over there
That was the best part of living in Rockford Illinois was going to that race every Friday night it was so fun I sure miss it
EVERY Friday?!?
Holy crap! You live in a blessed land
WOW‼️ WOW‼️ WOW‼️
SO AWESOME TO WATCH😉👍
That looks incredibly FUN😆
Talented competitors👍
imagine how dangerous it is for the women & children in those trailers
Truly, but they don't let dogs in
WOW thanks!!
Wow! This was awesome!!! Demolition derby, while hauling trailers. Might just have to see this in person next year. Great job 👍
More fun than a barrel of monkeys! (what does that really mean, anyhow?)
Barrel of monkeys was a kids toy 40 years ago, you had to grab and hook these little plastic monkeys out of a barrel. Hard to describe really.
That was surprisingly entertaining!
