Must be a California thing.

Do not know of any figure 8's in California anymore. Parnelli Jones learned
on a Fig. 8 track. At least one of the videos is from Florida.

We have three of them around here - Thompson, Stafford and Waterbury.

Rite of passage around here for High School Juniors who are motor
heads. Buy an old wreck, roll bar it, reinforce it and beat
themselves up at the Ice Breaker Demo Derby at Thompson Speedway.

They even have unofficial teams for each High School in the area for
the Figure 8 race.

I love demo derbies. All four of my kids participated including the
girls.

I must have been a positive influence. :)
