are you joking? K-9 took out like 3 contestants including #7 and could keep going, #7 was just racing safe and boooring

[@fortnerbuiltmotorsports444]

Definitely the #7 won that. Made full laps not cutting the track multiple times and missing laps. I think the applause was louder for 7

[@TNR_Blade]

Ways to improve: 1: Cut brake lines 2: pyrotechnics in the trailers

[@CriticalThinker27]

Aaron Canese for sure. Brakes are definitely over-rated.

[@MilwaukeeF40C]

3: Jackass skit with guys living in the trailer

[@tmartin555]

There's a "train race" at the track by my house where they hook 2 cars together with a chain and they do the figure 8... The front car has the gas and no brakes and the back car has the brakes with no motor... Exciting to watch, I gotta say
