Yeah, it makes me want to build another figure 8 car. I have a '48 Ford kit waiting for that.

You add lots of front end and driver side bracing  ;).  The only figure racing I have ever seen was on TV.  I remember the Wide World of Sports having a segment from Islip Speedway occasionally.  At that time that was about the only racing on TV.

Here is where it all started. I like to think of it as a Demolition Derby, with a bit of racing thrown in.
