Looks a lot like the "school bus" figure 8 race they have held several times
at the local stock car track, the kids loved it. a dozen worn-out yellow
school buses racing on a figure 8 , the first time they tried it, the buses
kept turning over, heck of a bunch of crashes, but no real speed,
after that mess, they later wet the asphalt and applied a little soap
(box of tide) and then things got exciting. slides and real racing, still
a bunch of crashes, but its surprising how much impact a old school bus
will take and keep running.. ( and no one got hurt)
one driver was a regular school bus driver and proved to be hero to
her passengers when they found she was racing ..
