Figure 8 Racing at Raceway Park, Shakopee MN

[@NowellHolmes]

I'm from Canada, saw a race down there once... LOVED it, just happened to drive by, so we popped in and had a BLAST... the girl who won the race was eating a red pepper I believe it was, just like an apple after the race... ha

I was at a race today at raceway park with the trailer races which was awesome. A couple really good crashes.

[@waylonhoss]

Very Intense Racing!!!

[@fig865]

I think that happened before he was at Raceway last year. I remember hearing about it. They recovered the jet car and of course checked it over very good.

[@Loolooette]

Crazy! I am totally coming out this summer!

[@fig865]

Thank you for your opinion and wonderful comments. I agree that the racing at the Speedrome can be crazy and fun to watch, but I can't get into that type of Figure-8 car as much. I'm more of a stock car fan. I suppose you like NASCAR too.

[@fig865]

We are going about 50-60 through the X so it kinda hurts when you get hit. The car that got hit spun up onto the light pole mound and made so much dust they couldn't see if the car was still on the wheels.

[@fig865]

Funny you say that, the Green Mamba will be there this Friday and Sunday.

[@fig865]

Actually it was a Ford Crown Vic. Not too much left of it. Did you recognize me in the 65 finishing 2nd in the last Fig-8 feature? Glad you had fun.

[@cchhrriissttiiaann77]

not too many people are into this kind of racing, but its way more interesting to watch lol

[@fig865]

Figure-8 racing is fun with any type of cars. I'd just hate to wreck a Speedrome car. Some of the coolest figure-8 racing I've seen is in central Iowa on the little dirt tracks.

[@lamborghinifreak123]

i would have added it to my favorites if u would have kept the camera on the intersection!

[@fig865]

It is on the schedule for Friday Aug 15th. The night starts at 7:30.

@18colts29 The biggest problem with the speeddrome is the track sucks it's so small, and they never mail the promised check down south. I'll take Anderson anytime.

[@fig865]

Dan McCarthy. I don't know if I could've passed him but after the wreck in the X, his car died that gave me the lead. He was pretty crazy in this race.

[@fig865]

Yeah, that was about a month ago or so. Bryan Turtle and Chevy Miller.

[@22may1990]

what the hell is that sound probably from the camera if you have a 16by9 camera lense it will give you that sound

[@fig865]

yeah, the green #65 in Fig-8s

[@dettaglio]

Some near misses made me shiver. I'd shit in my pants if I were a passenger there xD

[@brainninja35]

that white car is really lucky he didn't crash like 5 times

[@DeathCougar1]

This is what real racin is all about. The guy who JUMPS out of his car to go make sure the drive who got hit is ok. You won't find that in NASCAR or at the Speedrome

[@fig865]

She's not his wife. Just a fellow racer.

I finally got around to re-uploading this video in a better quality. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJTTfohtmceNhpY

[@gopherhockey897]

Ugh... I hate when people go through the X when they shouldn't.

[@fig865]

I'd be less careful there too. They run junk 4cyl cars and only every other week.

[@Loolooette]

you don't even know who "this type of guy is" lol

[@himynameisollielolz]

hmmm arnt you nice eh?

[@emersonbordeaux]

this is Definitely an intersection in Russia.

[@smackythefrog23]

Ihatefundaentalism: yes, the drivers have wives, kids, families etc. The prize money varies depending on the track, and the car used. some figure 8 shows pay as much as 20 thousand to win at national events, to as low as 150 dollars.
