Figure-8 Race - Motor Sports (gambling)


Pretty much what it says; a race run on a figure-8 shaped track. (Generally, this is done by paving two lanes in an X shape through the infield of a conventional oval.) Naturally, in a Figure-8 race, there is an intersection in the middle of the track, which the cars must navigate to avoid wrecks with crossing traffic. Figure-8 was once run strictly as a novelty event, and it pretty much died out in the ' 70s, but recently some tracks have been reviving it as a serious but low-cost division.
