Clearly 7 is the champion, stayed on course and hauled the biggest trailer.
clearly...reminds me of racing in GTA online
IMMPOSTER absolutely and a stock truck
And was faster than the other one the only way he caught him was to take the short cuts and 7 was the better driver
51 wins the "most intact trailer" and 7 wins "longest trailer surviving"
Gay-9 had a full protective cage.
Either way what a great way to get rid of your old worthless fiberglass trihull boats!
I'm absolutely in awe of this. This needs to be on national TV right after the Super Bowl
Imagine this is a country's national sport lmao
@@gang6009 lmao
I say before the super bowl...lol...or the halftime show!
Instead of the Super Bowl.
This renders the Super Bowl obsolete
the guy who cleans this up is a legend....
Steps out onto track.. *sigh* here we go again
Skid steer with a grapple could do it quick enough.
Push broom only LMFAO 😂 😂
Call Ron Pratt.
"We just got called out to a racetrack in Illinois. They weren't really clear on what they needed, other than we're supposed to bring all the trucks..."
Cleans what up?
"An air conditioning unit stuck under the front!" is something I never thought I would hear at a race of any kind.😃
U stfu 😃
@@LuciferMorningstar-ui7uq u write something that actually funny😃
“We lost a boat!
We lost _another_ boat!”
That's just a normal day in the U.K on the M25 mate
The race hasn't even started yet and I'm already thinking this is the greatest thing I have ever seen
This is like the most American thing I've ever seen....and I love it so much
I thought 7 took it on all counts; took hit after hit with longest trailer and wouldn't die.
Finally ... something to watch for people with refined taste.
Pardon Me, Do you have any Black Agnus ? 🤪 🇺🇸
T-bone for me please
Tea at 4 on the infield? 😅
I can't believe how ridiculously happy this is making me. I feel like this is the cure for everything.
You would probably like a Diddy party also
This isn't a cure for shit. This is a bunch of inbred poor white trash acting like special needs children at a Diddy party
@trapf2698 WTF????
The one dragging a jet ski behind trailer lol!
I must have atleast a dozen of those invisible jetski trailers laying around. Lol
DUDE i know right I died at that guy
That's his launch dinghy.
I eat Trolls I’d have shot his sorry ass after the race
He was my fav
Added to bucket list. This is must see live event.
you better get on it...this track is closing this year....a long sad story....last one happening...be there!!
“Hey Dad, can I borrow your truck and travel trailer for a camping trip?”
_Sure, son, just make sure to bring it back in one piece, _*_eh?_*
@wes lol then trailer gets destroyed. Then tells dad you said one peice
@h bring back a bumper.....you said one piece
An hour later the neighbor steps outside: Hey is so nice of you to let your son take your rig to the trailer competition, DAd: wHAT? neighbor: the truck and trailer competition, were they get all demolished and shit!
Bahaha
How in the world are there 1K people who didnt like this? Drinkin beer and watching this would be the best time ever
Ways to improve:
1: Cut brake lines
2: pyrotechnics in the trailers
Aaron Canese for sure. Brakes are definitely over-rated.
3: Jackass skit with guys living in the trailer
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
pyrotechnics at 10:27 when the boat trailer turns upside down
Good ideas.
Winner should be judged on the largest amount of trailer remaining plain and simple....Brilliant race loved every second of it
Did that so called winner even do one lap without cutting every corner possible. #7 You sir got robbed!
It’s not about who’s first but who survives
@@Fetidaf And who shmuks the other guy near the end to generate hype.
are you joking? K-9 took out like 3 contestants including #7 and could keep going, #7 was just racing safe and boooring
I didn't know this was a thing. But it's the best thing I've ever seen!
I’m gonna go play some wreckfest now
they need to add trailer racing in Wreckfest, only game I know of that has trailer racing is Test Drive Eve of Destruction
True
@@Cobra_427 they should add a nascar dlv
Camp Matthew worth every penny
jason9022 do you know a figure 8 track that’s open 24/7 with at least 12 other people competing? Didn’t think so. Wreckfest is the next best thing
Reminds me of all the Illinois drivers heading back south after a holiday weekend in northern Wisconsin
💯
Illinoisans are the worst
I will always remember today as the day I found the best thing on the internet.
The jet ski tied to the boat is priceless.
😂😂😂
Damn I'm proud to an American.
Hahaha your avatar looks like an eyelash hair.
I was like wtf when I scrolled by you.
Pretty sure you're up north....aboot midwestish....
They do this in some other countries too.
ah yes very american when one of the trucks has ak-47 on the side lmao
@hammer down fast lane Look up Amhering raceway ;)
We was on holiday in florida from England when we came across something like this....best day of our holiday....my son loved it
Necks don't get much redder than this. 7 should've slammed on the brakes on that straight away and run those shards of iron through his radiator.
Oooh
k9 relied on the big cow catcher, the 7 had his radiator relocated to the bed.
Been to this race multiple times and there are tons of different people there. It's Rockford one of the biggest cities in Illinois. It's more hillbilly.
I was thinking the same thing!!!
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
For a first time filming, good job cameraman! Smooth, no weird shakes, props to you...
You got a point there
he missed some pretty key collisions
I have no idea how I got to this video, but man! it delivered!
This was hilarious and exciting!! My family and I watched Trailer races at the Irwindale Speedway in 2016. What a mess! It was Awesome!!
K9 is a cheater, cuts the track short,and puts it in 4x4 at the end...CHEATER!! 7 won..
I agree with him cutting the track being cheating but alot of these trucks were running in 4WD so i dont see how that part is cheating
8:01 shit happenes
... the rules mean last one standing he's playing the game
Robert Hardwick Nope. The rules are last one standing. Other wise it’s a free for all. The circuit is usually just a formality at first, but once hell breaks loose, it breaks loose
Cutting corners isn’t cheating. This isn’t about who’s first but who’s the last one alive at the end
I grew up in rockford IL and for 2 summers my dad would bring me and my brother at the rockford speedway almost every weekend and we would stay till 3 a.m. hanging out with people in the cockpits with the drivers while everyone got drunk haha great times!
Ahhhh, another one of those random videos from my recommended list. Dunno why, but I shall watch it...
I remember when they used to play stuff like this on ESPN
Right the soccer matches, chain races, banger race, bus figure 8, all those with dirt races also
Yay, #7 - the true winner!!
Holy shit😂 this is not only the most insane extreme sport i have ever seen, but the greatest achievement of a free market
I need MORE of this in my life....
Couldn't agree more
Shortly after this race someone posted a used boat on Craigslist “ used, has slight damage”
10:00 This whole sequence of 76 macing his trailer into K-9 then boarding 51's trailer is the highlight of the video for me.
I can't tell you how much fun I had watching this. Thanks. I'll have to see one of these in person some day.
Now I know what happens to all those free trailers and boats that are listed on Craigslist!
We used to do this in Lake Geneva as well. These races pulled in far more money than the actual high dollar race cars did. It was a helluva good time
I did this at columbus motor speedway in 2016. It was awesome!!! Rip cms 1946-2016. It was an experience I will never forget and would do it again in a heartbeat
1. Why did this show up for me to watch?
2. Why am I still watching after 5 minutes?
Insurance adjuster: OK, wait, let's go over this again. You were driving on the road with your trailer, made a right turn, and WHAT happened again?
Remember watching this stuff growing up. I can't believe it's closed now I think this was one of the last years that I was there. Truly an amazing place
i would not want to be the one to clean that sh#t up ! LOL
You’d be the only one there with a steady income.
Legend has it they're still cleaning it up
It is easy. Pile it all up, throw it on haul away dumpsters and scrap it. They probably make BANK on scrap value
The most awesome sport scoring ever.
"crowd, it's up to you.!!!"
HELL YEAH.!!
Right when the K9 gets hung up on his trailer, watch for the yellow truck that's snapped in half, driving through the background, hobbling off in defeat! Made me laugh
The camera guy really has potential. I think for it being his first time this was decently well filmed and captured a lot of the action
Anyway amazeballs race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's the most american thing I've seen in a long time
@@alkdjfhgks1919 as an American i must agree... this is truly American🤣
@@alkdjfhgks1919 You make it sound like OP said a bad thing.
This is truly the most American thing I have ever seen 😂😂😂
This is the most stupid thing I've seen in a while, and I love it!
I've never seen something so beautiful
Have to admit I watched it twice😂
This is the true art essence !
After the third lap, nobody's hauling anything, they're simply dragging shit behind them. Gotta love this!
3:04 “ahhh just go for it” 😂😂😂 I felt that
Races like these are what makes America great 👍
This looks so much fun to see in person
it really is dude haha
Looks like I 25 in northern Colorado on a fine summer Friday afternoon.
I feel like I missed 75% of it
You did, we all did. There's key points that are not filmed. I don't know what the camera guy was doing 😂😂
Ikr all he had to do was zoom out and keep it in the middle
@@lv6892 It's not like the camera guy is a film expert, they're trying their best and they posted this video for you so maybe change your pessimistic attitude and appreciate you got to witness something.
@@foxxcvii7170 You know what...you're right.
You know everyone in those cars is laughing hysterically
3:26 that car getting flooded away by trucks just killed me XD
Holy shit I never knew something like this even existed.
Me either, but now it’s the train wreck I can’t stop watching 👀👀
In PHX it does every weekend
B.s. 7 was the winner 🏆!
did not think this would be as entertaining as it turned out to be, though clearly number 7 was the winner, hauling that massive target around untill the very end? What a boss. Though we all know that everyone wins, except the cleanup crew lol
Oh my goodness this was the funniest thing I've seen in forever! This was great!!! 😂😂😂😂
Yeah ✌️
This might be the greatest thing ive ever watched. Murica!
Even tho we’re all doomed I still love America!!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌👌
This is exactly what I needed at 0500 to get pumped for work 😂
Why is my Uber taking so long?
Bitch
MobileGamingGod Bitch
I just found this tonight. It's the most awesome thing I've seen on the youtube. It's now a destination I already told the wife.
Looks like New Orleans, pre hurricane.
Dan P PRE, really...PRE-, na looks like after
Post hurricane
Reminds me of my last vaca, coming home late on the interstate! - If you enjoy motor racing try the song, Just Good Ole Boys in Fast Cars Having Fun! #figure8 #trailerrace #wrc #spectatordrag #imca #stockcar
I was surprised to see a fifth wheel trailer in the mix. It jackknifed on the first lap.
Yeah, ole Scary Gary didn't even make it all the way through turn number 1. Shame really
Shawn Rhoul did you not see the asshat in the black Dodge Ram pit maneuver him into the wall? He was recovering 100% until that faggot rammed into him and yanked his wheel. Why y’all think he hopped out the truck all pissed off at the red flag. Threw his helmet and all. Hope dude in the #3 truck broke some bones that night
@@noahlowery1967 all is fair in love and trailer racing
DAVID P definitely not. The guy he wrecked hopped out trying to fight him.
@@noahlowery1967 Fighting is fair in love and trailer racing. What do you think the people come for?
Such a fine and civilized way to reuse old landfill waste! And the kids in the stands... learning such valuable life lessons! Just about brings a tear to my eyes... TISSUES PLEASE!!!
When Wallmart has 90% off sale on bacon
AND PORK RINDS
When Walmart finally gets toilet paper again
There should be families inside the trailers.
"And moms making a bunt cake"
Yes!!!! Now your cookin with fire !!😁💥
7 is awesome!
The craziest, funnest, and funniest race I've ever seen. We want a lot more of this
THIS LOOKS LIKE EVERYDAY DRIVING WHERE I LIVE!!!
😂
I absolutely love figure 8 racing, I can remember it from the 70s, not with trailers, but cars only and its a great way to spend a Friday night.
This is Where all of the FEMA Trailers End Up .
You joke but my uncle made good money hauling those out and destroying them. Most were so mold/bedbug infested they couldn't be sold
this would have been a much better use. they really all just sat rotting in fields. they're still some there today
I've been watching these all day and I love it!
I'd love to watch a clean up video after a race like this!
Quarantine algorithm nailed it again.
👍👊
Should of split the amount if vehicles into 2 races, been alot better!,, to many vehicles for that track
That’s the point
It wood take a day to cleen the track...
I don't think you understand the point of this
I never seen something like this before, it was a blast to watch, I love it.
You have to see the BUS Derby!!!!🤣🥳🤣
I didn’t know how bad I needed to see one of these live but IT’S WILL HAPPEN
Do they still do it at Rockford?
@@nathantorresstanevil6958 Still do it. This years is in 2 weeks on Aug 5. Wish I wasn't 7 hrs away.
First of all, I'd hate to be a scorer for this race. Second of all, no way could I stop laughing in my helmet if I was in this race. Lmao
lets be honest, this race has nothing to do with who wins.
lol
And someone has to clean that disaster area up! They should hold these events at landfills. When the event is done, just blade it over, job done. 😁
My cousin took me to this race track back in the early 90s. I thought he was joking when he talked about Figure 8 trailer racing. but obviously it was a real thing. This stuff is hilarious you really have to be there to get the full effect
Awesome! Glad I stumbled across this. Many years ago, back when racetracks were allowed in the Los Angeles area, there was Ascot Speedway, where you could see "train races", which consisted of the front car pulling motorless, driverless car, which was pulling a motorless car with a driver to steer the tail of the "train" through the figure 8. You rarely saw a lap without a crash. Then a fat woman living two miles away complained about the noise, and that was the end of that.
Why is it when I turn the sound off on this video I hear “Dueling Banjos” playing?
I hear Foggy Mountain Breakdown
Because it reminded you of squealing like Ned Beatty...
7:15 "Where you gonna a go? Right through the living room" 🤣🤣🤣
This is pretty much the greatest thing ever on TH-cam. I couldn't take my eyes off this shit. Laughed so hard I choked on my tea. Gotta give credit where it's due, K-9 was savage AF. #7 gets big props. That extra long trailer was ultimately his undoing but man, he was entertaining to watch. Th most hilarious move of the whole race, #76 dry humping #51 for a lap. I about fell out of my chair.
This video made my day..
10:57 that's me when I play nascar video games at bestbuy in the 90's.. Last place?! fffffck dis, I'm driving backwards on the track =D
Only in America. I love it. Hello from Ireland. 🇮🇪 🇺🇲
THIS! Was! F**King! EPIC!
Wow. I had a blast man, first time watching this kind of stuff. 😎
There is a great deal of strategy involved in this glorious sport.
And of course by strategy you mean beer. And when I say beer, I mean Budweiser.
Never seen this type of racing before. It's awesome 😂
Only in America! Damn! I love this country!
