For the first two heats (and the third to get qualifiers from those who didn't win the first two), driver's couldn't use the back of the bus to hit someone else's front.

BTW, the buses we saw at the fair got much more pulverized than the ones in the vid above. It really makes you appreciate how sturdy the skoolies are ...
