This class is designed for the guys who fear nothing in racing. This is the most challenging class in the world. You decide if you can make it through the X. The Track will be watered down to prevent hard impacts. A lot of racers started there racing careers in the figure 8 class. Who do we all know that runs figure 8 every week?
