Back in the 60's, the Dutch automaker DAF made cars
with a continuously variable transmission or CVT.
This means their cars could really haul ass in reverse.
And anytime you have something that hauls ass,
you gotta figure out who can haul the most of it.
Dutch reverse racing may seem like a novelty,
until I show you this crash.
This crash.
And also this crash.
While DAF cars are the golden standard,
reverse racing has expanded to include
pretty much any vehicle people don't mind destroying.
Check out these sweet half body mods.
(crowd cheering)
Okay ask yourself a question.
"Do you think they have jumps in these races?"
Dumb question, idiot.
(orchestral music)
My main problem with kids is that they don't rule ass.
Which is why it's so refreshing to see
some kids rule some ass.
- [Commentator] He's around the leader.
He's gonna be over, it's like a rush.
- [Commentator] He was a look on the inside of the right.
- This is pocket bike A-K-A, mini moto racing.
Where you take a little kid and put them on an even
tinier bike and prey they don't steal your girl.
They have mini moto racing for kids
as young as seven year old.
Hey mom where do world class motorcycle racers come from?
Right here, kid.
Including nine time world champion, Valentino Rossi.
Babies they come from (bleep).
Look how small these bikes are.
These two stroke engines only get up to 10 horsepower,
but the bikes are all under 45 pound
and these kids are literally children.
So these bikes fly.
- [Commentator] That's the leader.
- Anyone can drive a regular car
but how well can you race a car
that's been specially modified
to make it impossible to drive?
(country music)
This is skid plate racing,
where you to take a front wheel drive,
four or six cylinder sedan with a long wheel
base and bolt some steel plates under your rear tires.
No weighing down the front of the car, no sir.
No re-enforcement, no dorks, no rules, no fear.
During a 20 lap race, a typical racer will skid out
like eight times, that means there's huge potential
for the leader to blow it in the very last turn.
If you can make it through the race without
blowing your front tires, you're a hero.
If you can listen to the skidding sound for 10 minutes,
you're a nasty freak and I see you.
Trailer racing.
Some races have specific rules about
trailer length and weight, kinda pitch they use,
no duallys, if it's a camper, a boat, whatever.
But all trailer races encourage crashing.
- [Commentator] He's going right after him!
- First place usually win some money
but they also award a prize to the master of destruction,
which is determined by applause.
(crowd cheering)
They don't need to race on a figure eight track
but this isn't about what anyone needs.
It's about what we want,
and I wanna see some people crash.
- [Commentator] Yeah, just go for it, yeah!
- Train racing.
This might look like one car towing two others
but it's not, there's a driver in every car in the train.
If you're a fan of mayhem,
like the guy from the Allstate commercial,
you'll be pleased to learn that
this is also a figure eight track.
They change the track to guarantee crashes,
it's the closest you can get to a demolition derby
without joining one.
Do you wish they'd just cut the (beep)
and put a car on top of another car already?
Well wish granted.
This is stacker racing.
(funky music)
Popular amongst some very dope ass Canadians.
Hey we love Canadians here on Wheelhouse.
The driver on top does the steering
while the co-driver on the bottom car
accelerates, breaks, shifts, and prays.
That's right, they extend the steering column
an extra six feet into another car,
so it takes two people to operate a single machine.
Keep in mind the drivers can't communicate at all.
They just have to hope the other guy sees what they see.
And it begs the question, "Are you a top or a bottom?"
Let me know in my DMs.
Semi-truck racing.
Finally a good reason to rollback environmental regulations,
am I right?
Truck racing has been around for 40 years.
They use actual street legal semi's at first,
that can get up to around 150 miles per hour
on some longer straights,
making it the only time you ever want to see a semi do 150.
Like all good sports, the game evolved.
The circuit adopted standards and regulations,
allowing the trucks get modified, lowered, lightened,
while adding as much power as long as it saves diesel.
Nowadays, they limit the speed to 100 miles per hour max
because it's still uncomfortably fast
on these half mile ovals.
Most of the big rig racing in America is in the Carolinas.
Which means you can watch this
while eating the best ribs in the country.
It's so cool.
There's a truck racing scene in Smokey and The Bandit II.
If it's good enough for Burt Reynolds,
it's good enough for you.
Rest in peace, Burt.
(crowd cheering)
Skool bus racing.
Remember Otto from the Simpsons?
There are nine real life versions of him,
and in case you haven't picked up on the theme of this list.
They do it in the figure eight,
which is the exact opposite of your school bus
stopping at every railroad crossing.
Finally, we get to see what those Cummins diesels
can do without being weighed down
by all those dang kids in school zone, common decency.
Anyway, check out this close call.
(crowd exclaiming)
All right here's a crash.
Look how happy these people are.
That could be you.
Pig and ford racing.
At the Tillamook County fair in Oregon,
they've created the ultimate biathlon,
it's called Pig and Ford racing
and it's exactly what it sounds like.
You start on foot with four other white guys,
grab a fat little pig out of a pen,
crank start a ford model T,
drive around the track with the pig in the car.
And you swap porkers, crank start your model T again,
take another lap and return the pig.
Winner gets to take a nap with the pig.
They've been doing this since 1925,
and if this is how life was in the 20's,
I wanna go back in time and race with hogs
in horseless carriages everyday.
And as a bonus, I'd kill Hitler.
♪ America ♪
Who's model T is it though?
Who's pigs are those?
Who cares?
This is awesome.
Van racing has taken off in Japan.
Specifically, Dodge B Series vans,
it's called Dajiban Racing.
Dodge van, Dajiban.
You have to have a dodge van
but after that, you can do whatever you want to it.
You could build up to 318 cubic inch V-8,
lower the suspension but no matter what you do,
weigh down the back, get those sticky tires,
'cause these things are gonna drift.
These vans were chosen because they're so tall,
with a tiny little wheel base.
It's impractically to the Nth degree
which is why it's perfect.
Bonus fact, the Nth degree means the nolanth degree,
it's short for that.
Mud bog racing.
Y'all wanna go mud bogging?
It's more fun than it sounds, I promise.
(laughing)
First thing you need is a huge pit of mud,
then you see who can drive through it the fastest,
it's loud, it's messy, it's also a blast to watch.
The sport started out as a bunch of drunk dudes in pick ups.
Citation not needed.
The National Mud Racing Organization
runs events all over the country
and has divided the sport into classes.
If your truck has 36 inch tires,
you're in a class called, small tire.
But look at it now,
there are essentially monster trucks now.
This is a bounty hole competition.
It pays out depending on who can go the farthest
through the mud pit before getting stuck.
The game within a game is who can acquire the biggest tires
and who can put their trucks on the highest stilts.
These trucks look ridiculous and I love them.
There's also mud drag racing,
where you essentially drag
race across a longer, shallower pit.
Does it still count as hydroplaning if it's in the mud?
I don't know.
Bring earplugs and a towel.
Power wheels downhill racing.
Remember Power wheels leading the way?
What do you think happen to all those?
If you guessed, redneck racing them down hills,
congratulations, you paid attention to this video.
The rules are simple, whoever gets their power wheel
to the bottom of the hill fastest wins.
No modifications, everyone races stock
the way God intended.
If you're not looking for wipe outs,
enjoy your golden years, Grandpa.
If you are looking for wipe outs,
there's a YouTube video called most epic barbie jeep
crash compilation and I'm not suppose to promote
because it's not on our channel but I'm going to anyway
because it's the best 17 minutes
you can have in your entire life.
Besides that other video on that other website.
You know what I'm talking about.
Hey guys go check out our new series, Car Wars.
James, Zack and I are going head to head against each other

Go check it out, Car Wars.
All right there you have it.
Proof that people will race anything

in Tokyo drift.
