Here is one for the bucket list! In Three-Car-Train-of-Death Racing, three cars are towed together with three foot chains. 1st car has steering and big engine, 2nd and 3rd car only have brakes and steering. Teams actually race, head to head, against other competitors on a quarter mile oval track. What could possibly go wrong here?

Saint Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I wonder if this will ever make it here in the USA. Looks like a lot of fun. :bravo: <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrparrot Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 It's already here. Actually, it's been here for over 15 years, at least it was, here in the San Diego. The differences here are: 1 ) Front car has engine and steering, no brakes. 2 ) Middle car has nothing. 3 ) Rear car has no engine, just brakes. 4 ) We race them on a figure eight track. Myself and a friend were approached by a mutual friend who owned a local race team. It was one of those "If I build it, will the two of you drive it?" offers. My friend said, "Yes!" I said, "Oh hell yes!! Let's get this beast built!". But then... Two wives, who shall remain nameless, both said, "Oh hell NO!!!"... We also have trailer races on figure eight tracks. Yes, you read that right. Trailer races. Or, to be more specific, BOAT trailer races, with boats on the trailers. For the sake of safety, the trailers are attached to the cars just like you normally would, and the boats are chained to the car as well, so that if you SOMEHOW happen to lose your trailer, you won't lose your boat. Unless someone happens to drive through it at the junction of the figure eight... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooter Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 The driver in the rear drives like my 6 year old in a golf cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, my life insurance policies don't cover, as my wife puts it, "Death via stupidity.", and being the brakeman on the "Death Train", according to her, qualifies for the title of stupidity. Women never let us have any fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
