THIS TYPE OF RACE IS A DEATH WISH

[Tassieguru]

[TheLoopdawg]

I think it's pretty awesome that they don't stop the race. :)

[xIAMDAVEx]

goodness i thought fig8 races were demo derby cars not suped up performance cars! kinda a silly idea to wreck those things but man they went for ages without hitting eachother!

[86crazyray]

why do they run emods in the figure 8 they must have lots n lots of cash

[ramzteklo]

this is typical stupid americans... a race with a lot of crashes...

[DemolitionFirepower2]

#23 Eddie VanMeter is my uncle.

[dmurphyi28]

[dmurphyi28]

I want to get into racing the figure 8 cars. But everywhere i look to buy a figure 8 car that looks like these cars you cant find them. Found lots of dirt cars but they just don't look good and found couple but it looks like if you get hit in the side your dead lol Anybody know where the best place to buy a Modified at in Indianapolis Indiana. Thanks for any info

[505197]

@dmurphyi28  You need to start on oval first, this is so damn much harder then it looks like. If you have the money to buy a modified now is the time to do it. All you got to do is look up one of the drivers up that way, Tunney or someone will be able to point you in the right direction , people are sellin off cars this time of year. It's way too expensive and time consuming though. A good engine will set you back at least 10K, a really good one is 20K or more. Do roundy first for sure.

[skaterkid0121]

who needs stoplights

[marekholandia1991]

[chugerkell1234]

[cnycarnut]

id actually like to see these cars run an oval without the crossover these cars would make a great sister series to the late model series

[mydus29]

screw oval racing

[coltcub64]

My Dad and I are real good friends with R.J. Norton. My Dad also has raced at the Speedrome and there is nothing like the 3 HR.

[Shaqram05]

wow I always thought it was just sensless wrecking, but this is an amazing testimate of skill. The special driving skills need to go through the intersection are amazing.

[louisville61]

yea u would not want to wreak. ur expensive ass car gets demolished ohh not to mention the winner of this race wins 20,000 dollars. u should buy tickets. we buy tickets and drive all the way from louisville to see 3 hours of madness

[boomerpop63]

That was a wild race.And they are not running junk racecars.

[thewildwilsonshow]

congrats to this guy!!! gots to pay attention while driving here - my gosh how could you text or call anybody while doing this kind of driving?!

[eaads]

they need to run this race at anderson speedway lot faster track

[bassbuggy101]

yeah but the track and cross over isnt as wide as the speedrome

[acooper984]

i cant waite this is my favorite race the 3hr. best show in town.

[citydriver]

and i thought demo derby guys where crazy

[themisfit10]

do you have any idea where i could find information on how to build these kind of fig cars my dad raced figure 8's for 20 some years but they were the kind of cars that you see at fairs these seem a little more professional and fun so if you have any information please let me know

[smackhit8]

@themisfit10 these cars are open wheel late models with a two wings.

[louisville619]

i love dis i have tickets to dis evry year

[BigRedJonson]

I saw my first Figure 8 race at Sunshine Speedway, St. Petersburg FL in 1970, and I was hooked. Have also seen Figure 8 races at Golden Gate Speedway, Tampa FL; Islip Speedway NY (all defunct); Citrus County Speedway, Inverness, FL; Riverhead Raceway NY; and others. This is absolutely the most exciting Figure 8 action I have ever seen! The criss-crossing at the "X" is UNBELIEVABLE! I have GOT to make it to a World Figure 8 Championship 3 Hour Enduro- "The Most Spectacular Race On Earth"! :^)

[ironmangoalkeep4]

didnt surprise me to see van meter hitting something out there thats all he does

[acooper984]

thats what im saying i hope he does it this year again LOL.

[jensvanthomme]

so dump driving in 8'ts that aint racing just a couple of idiots with money

[Gabbard33]

every one cheats, its just some people dont do it much, doug has a small and weak engine compared to jacks and eddies, doug raced part time and still smoked them, he just knows how to set up a car, i know for damn sure he didnt cheat in legends, other tracks even took his engine

[TokioHotel3342]

Doug Definatley didn't cheat in Modifids but once he got in the lead it was the Doug Greig Show unless he wrecked/was wrecked.  That is why there are no more Friday nigt Modifides.

[Soulgrenade]

who cares if they cheat, its fun to watch and still takes big balls to race figure 8

[yihbregreli]

If you win you cheat dumb ass.

[yihbregreli]

Oh sorry he cheated in a Legend car. It sounded like a 5.o but who cares we all cheat/.

[bigd2699]

arite b ware can suck dick and he sux n da extreme figure 8 divison to

[indyboyforlife]

I've been to that the last 8 years it will have you at your seat

[yihbregreli]

Doug Greg is a cheatin motha fuca

[TokioHotel3342]

He is not. I am his neice and I help him build his cars. I know everything that goes on in that race with that cars. The only reason you are saying that is because your guy didn't win the race.

Wanna see some cheaters look at them Rayburn cars.

[ironmangoalkeep4]

there was only one rayburn in this race and i know for a fact that the driver didnt cheat

[TokioHotel3342]

Well what I mean is look at them during the normal season. 12 inch wheels The motors are a foot back the list goes on and on. I'm not saying they didn't during this race (although I don't see how they couldn't)

[xdagannothz]

he doesnt cheat at all just cause he won dont get mad

[austinky619]

artie b ware # 38

[uncanedo]

That is bad ass, didnt know they still had F-8 racing like that.......good stuff

[jr86racer]
