The Dirt Drag Racing I think Originated in Iowa where they had the Dirt straight tracks for originators of Tractor drag racing and tractor pulls the two main styles.

Pig racing looks so american it is not even funny. Personally I am just impressed

"Hey grandpa, why did you destroy our planet again?" "because it was fun!"

The squealing pigs one was amazing to see. I'm so glad I found this video!

One of my favorites: Scandinavian ice motorcycle racing. You really do not want to fall down.

Lawnmower racing, best fun you can have with your best mates.

Human: *gets bored of rally* Also human: grabs pig and starts racing

The power boat sprints are great to watch but it amazes me how they know which route to take with no markers or anything. I'd be completely lost !

Hmmm thanks and great suggeation

these are all a blast but what needs to be on here is Banger racing i would never strap in to a coffin

we used to have a yearly lawnmower competition in my small village in France, sadly it was taken down before I could join, I would have loved to do this with my friends.

Best part of this was some of the descriptions of the sports

They also make funny carts and shoot a comedy about it)))

I once saw a swamp buggy race where a typical jeep entered - and won. As he cruised to victory (all the swamp buggies had broken down) all you could see of the jeep entrant was the driver, his passenger and his air intake/exhauset pipes.

All the high power stuff looks cool, but HS I want to to that lawnmower racing!

The last one is an absolute gem.

I used to watch Swap Buggy Racing on TV back in the day.

Lawnmower racing for the win! Looks fun! Only they shouldn’t race in a track but on separate fields to see who would lawn the yard faster!!!

Well, I didn't expect that last one...

Watch out for those Sippee Holes!!! XD

The crew is going to the swamp buggy races this weekend. Woot woot.

That's actually tame for school bus racing, needed to show some figure 8 bus racing.

The last one was the best. I will never complain about loading up the dogs to go to the vet ever again LOL. Make sure that Ford is running real good LOL

2:21 When u is watching and take a lil nap

Lawn mower racing seems like it would fun af. I live in the southern us, shouldn't be too hard to find a race around here.

Formula Off-road is still the best! I would love to try that. Ive been in a sprint boat but I think the Formula would beat that feeling!

Here's a number 9 for your list, Ice Speedway, it's a motorsport that been running almost as long as regular Speedway on shale since the 1920's, but with ice… and massive spikes on the tyres.

Swamp buggy racing is the closest thing i've seen to a real life equivalent of the 'Whacky Races' cartoon lol

V8-powered water jet speedboat racing is a New Zealand thing and I can see why. These guys used to go up rivers in the South Island of New Zealand as early as the gold mining I believe. You can hop in a touristy multiple passengers one (still V8 powered) pretty much anywhere like in Auckland but you really want to go to Queenstown for the real stuff and go up river in tumultuous waters with big rocks everywhere. It is great thrill.

That boat navigator was like👈👆👉👇👈👆👉👉👈👆

My cousin races lawnmowers. He says it's quite fun. Occasionally they'll race on snowmobile courses, usually on frozen lakes, in the winter. There are also categories for small cars and dune buggies, if the ice is thick enough. Both drag and circuit racing. Sometimes the same groups will race other things, like ATVs and dirt bikes, but lawnmower racing is the big draw. Crowds love it. (his lawnmower is in the 20 horsepower range, I think. Some are much more powerful, but those are virtually uncontrollable)

I haven't heard or seen anything since I was stationed in San Diego. But in a town I believe Parkview? There was these things called Train races. It was three cars linked together. The front car was the steering and the muscle so usually a muscle car of some sorts. The one I remember was a Chevelle SS with 1000hp. The middle car was like a Hyundai excel or a ford pinto and the rear was usually a pinto or a focus or something like tat. The forward car was the engine steering the rear car which also had a person in it was the brakes. and they raced in a figure 8. They must have stopped doing it because I cant find it anywhere and haven't seen anything like it since

2:23 that made me jump and then jump again when I tried to get the time stamp

0:45 The perfect definitive karma moment.

Another thing to add is garden tractor pulling (I have a 50hp cub cadet 86 that is stretched 6 inches)

Formula Off-Road looks like me driving the Mako in ME1.

lugnut lugnut lugnut lugnut!

We have lawn mower races and school bus races in Wisconsin.

School bus racing one is from Charlotte Motor Speedway during the Summer Shootout. Main races are bandolero and legend cars, and each week they do something different in addition to those, like school bus races (usually with the drivers being school principals, pastors, firefighters, or police officers), as well as kart races, or power wheel races with 50 little kids jumping on power wheels and racing them around the 1/4 mile, really fun to watch :)
