YouTube - crashes figure 8 wrecks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9v8bYXqlGI&feature=related)

Figure 8 racing has been around for 30 years and it looks like it is
becoming more popular now. Spike TV has a series on called "Jesse James is a Dead man".
If you are a race fan, you probally know this, but if you are not a race fan,
this is must see TV.
Very exciting stuff.

which insane madman invented that

You talk about an adrinaline rush every 10 seconds.
They do 100 laps some times and after a wreck they fix the car and send them out again. You can still win even after wrecking 2 times.
That means everyone wrecks in this race.
Jesse James got smacked so hard on TV last night that he broke 2 ribs.
10 minutes later he was racing again. Insane

they do this at a local dirt track once a month back in texas. its crazy. my uncle did it for about 5 years until he got t-boned and they had to get the jaws of life out to cut him out of his car. a few broken bones and 2 months later he was alright but ribs still hurt.

This is absurd..
Those driver will learn how to croos a red light for sure.
But I think skiydiving must be more fun and more adrenaline.

All i gotta say about this is wow. If you can even consider this a sport, Id would definately skydive before i did this. I dont believe that there has ever been a sport constructed solely so that there are accidents. NASCAR HAS accidents, but this sport is constructed so that they occur. What a rush this has got to be, and me personally, i would never ever do that. I would skydive before i got in one of those cars, least if i died skydiving, itd be pretty quick. Seems like getting hurt in this sport would be bad news, i dont doubt that a few people have caught fire. lol.

All I can say that this cant be considered a sport, for God sake, its clearly expensive as hell, and crashing each other, looks just like a bigger version of bump cars at amusement parks.....

GOLF, now THAT IS A SPORT!
