This looks like an extreme niche sport ... probably won't make "race of the week" status as a TV regular. As a series, it would probably be canceled before the first episode.

So, thanks for posting! We would not have seen it otherwise.

Oh, I don't think that it will ever be a main stream event, but it was funny to watch that video. I liked the red Toyota getting sandwiched between two of the motor homes and the motorhome that was losing structural rigidity all over the track.

One of our local county fairs has the "Figure 8 Trailer Race" as shown below.

Oh, the humanity!

Too funny.

I guess if it moves, humans will find a way to race it...

The big race here near Peoria is the TT race (Grand National Peoria Tourist Trophy race at the Peoria Motorcycle Clubgrounds) when bikers from all over the country converge in late summer. I usually forget about the race until I see our roads clogged with bikes. We are about 20 miles from the track ... other side of Peoria, but we see a bunch of bikers here, too. (Possibly affected by the proximity to a biker bar just outside our subivision.)
