We have figure 8's, school bus races and my favorite, the midnight ride of pail revere. It a figure eight race with nothing but a beacon on the car, in the dark. The trailer races are pretty hilarious too.

They do the school bus races down here too at a track a few miles away from Darlington. They have the buses go around the track clockwise (they say they do this to keep them from tipping over).

Thanks for the link, Sean.

There is a track up in Dayton, OH where they do the figure 8 school bus races. My brother's friend entered one year. He made it through the figure 8 race, but didn't finish the school bus demolition derby. His radiator failed him. One guy in the demo derby was playing possum. He turned his bus off about 2 minutes in, then with about 2 minutes left, he fired up the bus and came in second
