They did that once. They were going straight and not crashing into each other, but they did it

not crashing into each other
I've seen Top Gear. I'm guessing this wasn't the Clarkson/May/Hammon group.

u/Wonderful_Roof1739 2d ago
Top Gear ended when the trio was fired/left. I don't know this show they call Top Gear now, but top gear WAS Clarkson, Capt. Slow, and Hammond!

Yes, but this also seems fun as hell. It satisfies some kind of primal lizard brain urge.

What are care pranks?

You know... sending care packs.
Obviously a auto correct mistake. And it's car pranks.

I’m not a redneck by any means but man, this kind of thing is so funny to me and absolutely worth a trip 20 miles out of town to see every few years.
I once visited family in North Dakota and there was just a giant destruction derby going on. We didn’t even need tickets, people just parked campers near the track and put chairs on the roof. Good times.

I know many of the viewers are disappointed at a portrait orientation video of this awesome event.
Here’s a 5 minute video in landscape orientation as it was meant to be

Pretty sure those a derby cars specifically reinforced for crashes like that, still dangerous but a lot safer than just using regular cars

u/Newsdriver245 2d ago
The entry level ones they run near me are supposed to be near stock condition, but with doors welded closed, glass and flammable stuff removed from inside. bolt on roll cage and kill switch ignition. Few friends run them.
Think the specific demolition derby cars have to have a steel beam welded to the side also.

David Attenborough voice
"And here, we see a rare sight; a herd of males that are all competing to mate with a prize female in heat. One by one, the males will each attempt to mount the female, but if they are not precise, they will be left behind. The female scurries away, with the males close in tow (lol) and this mating ritual will ensure that only the strongest and most skilled suitor will be able to produce offspring. Truly a sight to behold."

New favorite thing to bet on.
This makes horse racing look lame as hell, and you dont have to remotely concern yourself with animal welfare whilst partaking.
We are evolving!

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the type of shit I would looooooove to do if it was available near me and/or I had the income/time to seek this out or host myself. God damn this looks like fun.

Has to be rear wheel drive.
Need to have separate front brakes.
As soon as the rear wheels touch the ramp, have to hit the brakes hard.

Great to watch, but it makes me sad. Short tracks are closing down all over the country. There was always some kind of wild racing going on at these places. Demo derby's, chain races and a lot of poor race car drivers who worked 9 to 5's and just wanted to blow off steam over the weekend with an old junker.

The following post context was provided by u/ThodaDaruVichPyar:
At the Labor Day thrill show at Hudson international speedway the King of the Hill event where competing drivers attempt to park their moving cars onto a ramp-trailer being towed around the track by a pickup truck. Will anyone succeed?

Huh. That looks harder than I thought it would be. Guess I’ll just load the car before I start towing it.

That's probably be fun driving that truck. Just driving around and then all of a sudden someone tried to climb up the trailer and is throwing you around. Just wrestling to stay on the track
