When I lived in Indiana I saw a figure-8 school bus race at the Anderson Speedway. The track was shaped like an 8, so the buses had to cross paths in the middle. Unfortunately none crashed.

I saw the same thing on the same night as the figure 8 race. It was not entirely exciting either. It was their season-end event, so they did all sorts of crazy stuff. I think the night ended with a demolition derby.

most cant get their cars to roll but these people are nuts. these are just regular cars, no rollbars, just a standard seatbelt.

Yea I saw that one night, crazy. On the guy that won they had an in car camera and the dude damn near came out the window! Just a standard belt! Th funny thing was they were interviewing him afterwards and you could tell it rang his bell pretty well.
