YouTube - School Bus racing in figure eight

I watched it for a while and realized what a bunch of crap, there are no kids on board.

This one is more like NASCAR, except these are actual production vehicles, something you never see in NASCAR. The are just circle tracking, no figure 8, but the chicken feathers still don't have any kids on board:

YouTube - Bus Races - Marne Michigan

Looks like they need to dial in the stagger a bit.

Hot building tips in case you find a good one at the school district auction and want to be competitive.

There's more, but you fellers can just google "school bus racing" and you'll be busy for days.

I will absoluetly not tolerate that being done to a school bus
I'd buy a retired school bus, use it as a personal/private vehicle to haul people whenever I pleased, and if I ever repainted it; I'd repaint it with a fresh coat of School Bus Yellow
I am especially not happy over those people doing that to a conventional built on the B-Series
The B-Series, in addition to the International Conventional chassis are my favorite conventional chassis
The most important thing about a school bus, as is also with a motorhome; is the chassis, and the body being attached by the second stage manufacturer

...who cares? They're junk busses. Worn down by years of abuse by children, given a proper send off by going ***** out around a track. Those busses are a dime a dozen, you can find them anywhere, no worse then sacrificing a few cars for a normal demolition derby.

Now it would be different if it was a very old and rare-ish bus, like a 55 Kenworth - but these aren't.
