Figure 8 Racing crash

[megamusicuser]

number 10 is a pussy

[tacospartan]

VHS quality makes it even better!

[anthonysakai]

i love figure 8 racing

[tedthemoose]

these. dudes. are. mental.

[KARsandJTsUSERNAME]

use a fucking window net.

[dany080]

Crash is at 3:14 ...

[swarf2]

Jeez. Say what you will about the imbred, red-neck stereo-type. These guys have balls of steel tho

[The3astside]

wow the suspense leading up to the crash in unreal!

[oneirishpoet]

wow this proves you can get REAL 'Merkan retards to do just about ANYTHING as long as it's pointless, stupid and involves risking their pathetic, useless lives...thinning the herd is what they call it, yeeehaw!

[rockys3477]

100000

[breewalker123]

boring!!! i would rather see demolition derbys where they crash more

[proudhoosier26]

@breewalker123 It is about the racing, and not the crashing......There are drivers in the cars, and this isn't a 20 mph back into another car demo derby. Those guys are running 75-80 byt the time the get to the end of the straightaway, then turn and try to pass and get through the intersection again and try to setup the guy in front of them for the next corner. Check out the "3 Hour World Figure 8 Championship".

[505197]

@breewalker123 You need to go see a figure eight race, there's nothing boring about it at all. I'd like to put a seat in the car and haul yer ass around that track and you'd change your mind quick. The best drivers on small tracks are the figure eight guys, after runnin the eight oval seems slow and tame.

[oneirishpoet]

@505197 oh yeah, it looks like BIG fun drivin' round that stupid race track with a buncha other mentally retarded redneck morons...I wish they'd introduce this 'sport' for all the morons who show up for Repiglickin' *Presidential* debates...survival of the fittest, free markets and PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!!! btw, I hope none of these assholes have health insurance, Darwinism should weed out the weakest links in this parade of brain dead 'Merkans!

[505197]

@oneirishpoet Lemee tell you something dirt bag, one of those fellows sold millions of dollars worth of sod, and Jesse James showed up to race at Indy one year. this year they paid 22 grand to win the three hour enduro. You can talk your shit but one thing for sure, you won't talk it in our pits. You fucking tool, kiss my ass.

[HybridHolocaust]

@oneirishpoet With your emphasis on personal responsibility, use it and enjoy your time while you're alive. Whether it be figure 8 racing, playing video games or being a schmuck with a keyboard.

[KeselowskiTheMan]

@oneirishpoet  Dont be that guy

[IXGQ4LifeXI]

SKIP TO 3:10 FOR THE ACCIDENT

[liamvg]

What model cars are those?



[davidallenroth]

theres sounds like a second huge impact in the back ground when the camera man focuses on the 19 car.. i wonder if the 14 got hit again?

[russracer]

@davidallenroth The 2nd crash you hear is the 19 cars wheel hitting the guardrail

[TheDizzy631]

great racing

[themrcjthings]

the whole time i was yelling "CRASH!!CRASH!!CRASH!!"

[aceinco]

3:10... broken arm?

[expresstrucker1]

now this is a race to put some hair on your nuts.

[Olejoss1906]

destruction derby

[TheShirinzu]

xD



[uofksteel]

Mike Russ nailed the old Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger was an awful figure 8 driver and should have never been out there!

[richardxx9011]

I dont understand why people stop right there I hate when people do that. I keep going around even if im going to get hit or im going to hit someone. Its a rush you have to keep it going. If you do this you go all in or dont do it at all... cant let fear take over too bad while doing this.

[505197]

@richardxx9011 If you don't stop you are stupid. The last time I ever ran figure eight I didn't stop and got a ride to the hospital. Number 51 in this video was who I crashed with, I was on the tail and didn't want to stop and thought I had it made, he didn't lift that time and was racing for the lead. You have to stop now and then, otherwise you are building another car, that gets old fast. Stoppin while yer in a race is absolutely the hardest thing to do, I wasn't worth shit at it myself.

[battsjoe]

i was at this race at the sports drome speedway. That was a bad wreak!!!

[theman4455245]

@battsjoe So it was the Sportsdrome. It looked different... I could only tell because there's a Harmon car, and there were really only two places they would be. xD

[theman4455245]

@theman4455245 Also the announcer and the fact it's Cheeseburger. Shame he doesn't run anymore, and they got a new guy...

[corpselove]

what track is this

[a7xxfoREVer1]

@TurbulentV8 wtf?

[jdonovan74]

Fatal????

[theomendc4]

I was there! I hauled what was left of the #14 car to the hospital to see what was left of the #14 driver RIP Mike!

[davidallenroth]

@theomendc4

please explain more.. i read i comment on here it sadi nobody was hurt,,

[russracer]

@davidallenroth Mr Omen was being a funny man, I was not hurt seriously. Did spend several hours in the hospital, but all checked out OK, just VERY sore for a few days.

[pri24511]

That was a good crash .

[Guitarlover762]

I thnk they should run track the opposite direction so tht all the crashes in the intersetion aren't driver side hits.

U no it would make much more safer, still not safe but, safer

[beaverpride19]

@Guitarlover762 not allthe hits are driverside, it depends on which car gets hit

[Ikasnu]

@Guitarlover762

Regardless of what direction they race, you're still going to have driver side hits in the intersection.

[lilchild911]

@Guitarlover762 that's impossible, whichever direction you go in you'll pass the intersection twice in 1 lap and 1 of those times the driver will be closest to the oncoming cars

[kyledearing100]

i love it the guy that was sitting at the intersection waiting for the cars to go by in the beginning another car floured it. i would be like wtf

[baddogcamaro94]

good video, my dads been in a few crashes himself in that X.

[mardukl]

woah at 1:24 :P  its close well it does look close from this angle :P

[octanemonkeys]

i go to see figure 8 here alot #19 cheeseburger almot got into another wreck

but now.. they hav way faster cars lik stock cars or sumthing but is crazy cuz they go lik 150 mph and com lik 6 inches rom each other

[richardxx9011]

@octanemonkeys they dont go 150mph dummy were traveling at about 30, 35 mph sometimes 40. 150 think about it dude? 150? your nuts... I wouldnt even do that....

[db5522brown]

if u wanna see a real figure 8 camper pull look up painesville speedway

[killerjg]

I blame the crash on very poor layout of the circuit.

[SoloWing3844]

It's never the circuit's fault. you've got to get your timing right.

[killerjg]

i was joking.

[nydted1]

These races are always fun to watch so long as the guys arent concerned with finishing the race and preserving their car!

[OddFacade]

Greh, for the rest of the race, ZOOM OUT x.x

[m16figure8]

metric cars cant give a hit. now he knows.

[russracer]

@m16figure8 Was not a metric car, just a metric body. NO car could have "gave" that hit and drove away!

[m16figure8]

i dont agree that NO car could. we build em gnarly in michigan. I'm just sayin. i dont want to sound like a prick expert but i have seen some cars built for war.

[snarfburger19]

some to adel, iowa to see a real crash..so weak

[gregm89]

da cheeseburger go the sesame seeds knocked off his bun on that one

[JustinMcandrew]

holy shit

[iaballer1988]

that white 4F car is sweet. a newport?

[geekaya]

only in america.... should try to convince FIA to adapt it in motor racing in Europe.

[SportShot300]

Well MrJ, i'm sure it's easy to never get hurt when you stop every time :-p but really, anyone who races figure 8's isn't totally right in the head lol i'll be racing at the Drome next year, but not x8's. and MrJ, i'm only kidding, but i'm sure that eventually you're time to get hurt will come lol we've all been there

[MrJstrat]

i race figure 8s at the local race and i have never been hurt at all in an accident

[castingsinkers]

now thats what they want to see at figure 8's

[ccraw87]

that was a sickening crash...that one made me bones hurt and i wasnt even in the car i can imagine how much that hurt i mean for christ sakes he knocked the fucking wheel off!!!

[anthonysakai]

it was cheesburgar who got hit

[Soulgrenade]

no, they DO get hurt. its just the roll cages lessen the injuries. i've been to the sportsdrome hundreds of times and seen many drivers get hurt in figure 8

[russracer]

Sportsdrome in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Near Louisville, KY

[lirr56890]

what track is this.

[rvrjr7]

wheres that race track at

[bigd2699]

lol dammit cheeseburger i thought that fucking queer lil bitch harmon was going to get hit

[Slugger2351]

Holy crap! Now THAT'S a crash!

[NABracing]

i want to race this kinda stuff soo bad, driving in circles if boring and i know, i do it. but the odds of crashing would make this kind of racing so much better

[moisty24]

obviously your a fruit, the drivers have enough protection that they dont really get hurt, plus from a fans point of view it kicks ass

[jamie00091]

and that is what made america what it is today....

[ballsimhornylol]

Dam took long enough They should have walls so they dont know when to slow down that would be fun

[justicevelez]

nice

[uofksteel]

And there goes the Cheeseburger LOL. Mike Russ is such a horrible driver.

[Quentinovitch]

I love it ! ;)

[michaelangelomkII]

Ouch

[fiddlerpin]

They ran figure 8's at Nazerath Speedway in the 60's and 70's in PA. Also at Islip Speedway on Long Island

[Lexus3000cc]

For anyone that might care, the crash occurs at 3:12 into the video.

[peterplaysbass]

Thank you. I don't care about the first 3:11.

[McWhite19]

that be a run class to race in, they dont have figure 8 racing here, well they do but the track i race at they are tryin to get it but last time they tried only 2 cars showed up so they stopped trying

[Slog01]

I love Figure 8's greetings from Europe

[russracer]

WOW! I had a pretty good view from inside the 14 car as well.

[WarnerD1]

haha awesome
