This video was taken on-board a Back-up car during the Feature event for that class.
The Back-up division races weekly at Columbus 151 Speedway, Columbus, WI. The class races 8 laps in reverse as fast as they can and have been doing so since the early 1980's. As seen on TV!

The rules are fairly open. Most are safety related. So, yes. In practice the cars are setup just like a forward car for the same track with a couple of tweaks such as toe-in vs. toe-out, if that makes sense.
