I am OK with that. I have really only seen one figure 8 race and it was pretty silly.
OT: Why do cars slope inwards at the sides?

Cheatham County Tn is really more hillbilly than redneck. I think of rednecks being Alabama, Georgia and parts of Florida where the yankees haven't invaded yet. South Florida rednecks are a disappearing breed but they are really more like Cajuns than Georgia boys. I knew a few 20-30 years ago but they were assimilated or just moved farther back into the swamp. That is even getting harder to do because developers are draining the swamps and building Golf Course gated communities there.
That is the common thread through all of the country folk. They don't care what the original manufacturer was thinking, they adapt things to what they need.
Puddle quirk? I had a Rover Maestro which stopped running if it even saw a puddle The distributor was right next to the wheelarch.
What I never understood is the saloon. You can't get anything in it.
A bit like British roads then, where everyone believes they have right of way.
Baptising is just an excuse to scare the s*it of the baptisee.
If you drove into a puddle of standing water in the road, most of it would be thrown up on the windshield.
What I never understood is why anyone would call an automobile a 'saloon'. You do have proper saloons, don't you?
I can't think how I could design a vehicle to do that.
They're called bars.
It was a closely held secret at AMC.

Too bad the politicians can't do that...
My morris Mini 850 had the distributor right out in the open at the front if you drove it like I did for awhile withthe grille removed. I hit a starling one day, and it killed the poor mini in it's tracks. Even with the grille installed, a driving rain would drown it. I drove the couple miles from my girlfriend's place to the highway in reverse numerous times to keep the plugs and distributor dry. (prevailing winds were a dead-on headwind the full length of that road)
It's called aerodynamics. They didn't call it a "fishbowl" for nothing - - -
