They hook three cars together - the first car with steering, a motor and no brakes, the middle car with nothing and the rear car with only steering and brakes - and race on a figure eight track.

Here's an example from Youtube...
 
So redneck but so fun to watch. It's fun with school buses as well.

Speed Channel's Lucas oil on the edge program usually shows this type of stuff.
 
The idea, the build up and anticipation is awesome I really couldn't wait to see it.:D
By the end of the 2nd lap I was bored.
 
Same with a demo derby. You've gotta smell the failing engines to really get it.

REcently watched a U.S. Hot Rod Association (the Monster Jam people) show on YT from 1988, with a demo Derby in it. Not that exciting on TV.
