This is what happens when you mix Stadium Super Trucks with an IndyCar street circuit. You get the most hilarious, most awesome kind of racing I've seen in a long time.P

What's the 'point' of any race? Looks fantastic, and far more entertaining than any F1 procession.

What was the name of the arcade game where you could race these trucks? It was 4 player, you all stood around the console and you had a nitro button you could use...

Found it :-)

Remember many years ago the scottish hill rally lot came to knockhill and stuck 500Bhp landrovers around one lap of the track before hitting the offroad circuit inside the circuit

I did have a little giggle at 11:02 when the commentator was describing the hand brake. laugh

"The lever on the right is a rear brake, a steering brake used to aid turning on tighter corners"

I shall now always refer to the hand brake as a steering brake smokin

Looks like loads of fun but what happens if at full sped on those straights the driver doesn't manage to line up fully with the ramp or gets pushed to one side of it, one wheel on one wheel off? yikes

The dirt track off road format was shown a lot on ESPN America (or was it Motors TV?) during the winter. Great fun!
