Its a pretty wild night with something going on for action every minute of the race.

We had Figure 8 at my home track when I was growing up,and the longest race was 20 laps,just once a year. 15 laps every other week of the season. I just read about this race back then,and also back in the day the figure 8 race they had at Islip, New York.

After the first 3 hour race I went to,I called all my buddys back in Maine and told them they have to come check this out! Its unlike anything we ever had there. I cant imagine driving in this race,going thru the intersection every 10 seconds or so with 31 other cars of different speeds and daring,attempting to do the same thing,for 3 hours.

I moved here to watch sprint cars and midgets,but I can take one or two nights off a year from them to go watch this!
