IGNITION - DStv Channel 265

16 & 17 April	Years ago in Rockford, IL, the Deery brothers saw a trailer come loose from the car on an interstate and they got the idea for a trailer race. Trailer racing is a little known phenomenon that is sweeping the nation because it's demolition to the extreme! Figure 8 Racing has never seen anything like this before. The rules for this event are easy�the last trailer standing wins. Drivers must trail something (a boat, camper, etc.) around the track in figure 8 pattern. Once you hit the crosshairs you can kiss your trailer goodbye. As long as part you the trailer is still attached�you're still in the race! Pride is on the line and these drivers are out for one thing only�total destruction!
23 & 24 April	Big American iron from the past come to life for one more night of crashing, smoking and total destruction. Other demolition derbys have nothing on Tournament of Destruction. In most other demolition derbys there aren't any rules and the winner is the last person standing. Tournament of Destruction is unique because there are eight teams going head to head in elimination competition. Each team has four cars and each driver has a role. There is a runner, run blocker and two crushers. Not only do you have to survive, but you also have to complete five laps to win. There's money on the line, but for the drivers competition in this event�there's much more than that! The drivers are out for blood and they'll hit you as hard as they can. It's total annihilation�you don't want to miss it!
30 April & 01 May	Rockcrawling is the fastest growing motor sport in the world. It is four-wheel drive vehicles of an extreme nature going over the most incredible obstacles imaginable. Sixty degree walls and greater, eight foot crevasses, and tremendous side hills are bring thousands of spectators to each event. It has everything a motor sports enthusiast would want�the sounds, the pits, the competition and the carnage. UROC is a two-day event with teams competing on 10 obstacles total (five per day). Each team consists of one driver and one spotter. The spotters guide the drivers through the gates (orange cones), pile rocks for traction, and pull the rockcrawler up steep inclines. Teams are scored on time, number of gates hit, reversing, and a myriad of other rules. The winning team is the one that comes in with the lowest score. Competition is fierce at the events, but the rocks are even tougher�it's an event not to be missed!
07 & 08 May	What do you do with a snowmobile in the summer? Race it on grass! Drag racing has never seen anything like this before. With multiple classes, hundreds of sleds, and drivers barreling down the track in five seconds�it's racing to the extreme. PSGDRA (Professional Snowmobile Grass Drag Racing Association) puts on an exciting event with racers competing in six classes: 600 stock, 700 stock, 800 stock, 1000 improved stock, 1000 pro stock, and 1000 heavy modified. These drag races are unique in the fact that they race four snowmobiles at a time�the top two winners move on in rounds until one is crowned champion!
14 & 15 May	Welcome to the Figure 8 World Finals! Endurance is the key to winning this event. Each year the best figure 8 racers in the country get together for a three-hour long figure 8 race where the crashes are fierce and the competition is stiff. 28 racers and 22 alternate drivers all converge to test the limits of their cars and their luck when they traverse the figure 8. You're not safe anywhere on the track and that holds especially true for the cross hairs in the middle of the track. The only question is�do you hit the gas or the brakes? The driver with the most laps completed after 3 hours is crowned champion�and that means a large purse and larger bragging rights!
21 & 22 May	Harley Davidson motorcycles scream power and demand attention when they're on the highway. When they come onto the drag strip�they're on a whole other level! All Harley Drag Racing Association offers some of the best motorcycle drag racing in the country. What started out as a club racing organization in the late seventies, with 50-60 competitors and virtually no spectators in the stands, has grown into a national organization that hosts 250-350 competitors and between 7,500-10,000 spectators per event. This extreme sport is the most unique in motorsports today, giving fans direct access to the competition. Each event ticket allows the fan to circulate through team pit areas. They are able to observe the teams working on the motorcycles. Riders and mechanics are always willing to speak with fans and sign autographs.
28 & 29 May	It's all about the wheelie stands for this event. It's always fun to "pop a wheelie" on a bike but how about a car? The key to winning this event is to keep your foot on the throttle, look up at the sky and pray that your car is going in a straight line! Drivers who dare to enter this competition are judged on distance, height, photogenic qualities, and violence factor. With only two chances to impress the judges�the wheelie stands better be hot!

25 & 26 June	Dirt flying, wheels up in the air�this isn't your average drag race. Racing on asphalt is easy compared to this off road desert race.
