I just saw a train race on speed channel, 3 cars attached back front w/ two drivers, one in first and other in third car…

they drive around a figure 8

it would be kinda fun to drive that, any one know any racees like that in canada?

two trains used the old 240z/280z cars for the middle ☹

what were they thinking!

They have train races once in a while at Merritville Speedway in St. Catherines. They usuallu use small cars like Chevettes and small imports.

The front car has the steering and engine, the middle one is along for the ride and the rear one has the brakes. IIRC.

They don’t do a figure 8, they just drive around the track.
