Redneck racing, get on the Trailer

Not sure what you call this, but it's awesome, bunch of guys in beaters, on a short oval trying to be first to load up and stay on a trailer being pulled by another redneck in a old pickup...

What could go wrong.....

This does solve the eternal question about relative speed raised by KIT in Knight Rider. Wonder where my engineer friend freshmen roommates are.....

Seems like FWD would be definite advantage into getting onto the trailer. OTOH, kind of tough getting around a corner with those big balls rolling back and forth.

MythBusters tested this one long ago & proved it's possible & you don't launch up the trailer at the speed it was going prior to mounting the ramp.

Leave it to Americans to come up with that!
Quite the challenge to get aa car on a trailer stationary let alone moving.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

That would be a blast. Take some guts to drive up on the trailer like that.

LOL - my first thought too!!

Been to many pro sporting events, best ever is the yearly Monster Jam show in Jacksonville, FL. It’s as close as I’ve gotten to trailer racing. Just a damn good time! Mullets and Budweiser for days!

The driver of the trailer puller is phenomenal! Also… imagine the horsepower needed to stay in front of the pack!!!

I’d pay money to watch that spectacle ‘live’!

Prolly cold beer and nice people there too!!

I would pay admission and concessions for my whole family to go see that for a day.

The wife says it looks like fun. I think she meant to drive in it. To me, it looks like every day on the local freeways, now that all the Californians have moved in!
