Do you have any video from the boat drags at Ming Lake ? That might be a little more interesting.

Rockford Speeday is a blast to be!!! Figure Eight Train race, and the Double Deckers are fun to watch as well... I grew up going there....

 

Guy in lead car has steering and throttle, guy in last car has brakes and steering. Car in middle is just an empty shell..

Sadly, I have no video from either the Boat Drags or the March Meets.. I'd share if I had some.

Fun video, Alan!

My kids and I enjoyed watching it. Reminds us when Orange county fair has the Motorhome Madness Demolition derby every year. What an absolute hoot!

Too bad "Corona" ruined it for us this year. Fair was cancelled. ?

They do bus figure 8's, Bus demos and Bus football too. They take an old diesel fuel tank like you'd see on a farm and use it as a football..
