Well, last weekend was 4x4 Jamboree, this weekend was the Lycoming County fair...


Figure 8 Racing


and



Mini Van Demolition Derby

Unfortunately the derby started in the evening and my camera didn't capture it well. The Figure 8 Racing was a hoot. Bunch of compact cars with front wheel drives going at it. I don't recall having this much while being sober (no Alcohol allowed in the fair grounds ). The secret to this race is to have a front wheel drive car with spare donuts (run flats) in the back!! Heck, the rear wheels on some of these cars weren't even spinning

I thought you were going to spend time bonding with the Amish and learn to live off the grid? Shame on you Ali...

Those Pennsylvanians are crazy! That figure 8 racing is not for the timid.

Actually, I kind of like the idea of Minivan Demo Derby. What a better way to use a minivan!

Nice pics and videos Ali.

Enjoy!
