Death Racing is more like a 24-hour obstacle course and scavenger hunt than a conventional race with start and finish lines. The course designers combine heavy physical labor with metal and dexterity games. For example, you might have to dive into a lake to retrieve a bike chain, then install it on your bike so you can ride 100 yards to the forest’s edge where you’ll search for an egg. Then you’d have to carry your egg while looking for a match and a can to softboil your egg, etc. At some point you’d run several miles then name all the U.S. Presidents. Now I understand why the 2008 movie Death Race bombed so badly.
