I'm not the promotor but am trying to see how much interest there might be for this. Kilkare Speedway in Xenia, OH is putting on a figure-8 trailer race on July 21st, 2018. I was asked to put the word out to see if there is enough interest to have the event. Not sure about prize money, etc. this is just to get an idea of how many people might be interested in participating.
Any input is appreciated!
"tentative" rules are below.

OBJECT OF RACE
Finish the 15 lap, figure-8 style race with 5 feet or more of your trailer attached while trying to separate the trailers of your competitors from their vehicle.
Following instructions from the flag-man and safety crew is mandatory and will be covered in a drivers meeting prior to the race.
If you lose your trailer completely, you will be disqualified and you will be black-flagged.
If you hit another tow vehicle with your vehicle intentionally, you will be disqualified immediately. This is not a demolition derby, it’s a trailer race of destruction, SO LETS TEAR UP SOME TRAILERS!!
The last vehicle-trailer combo alive AND/OR the leader of the last lap will be considered the winner.
