Have you high-tailed it down to the Arizona Exposition & State Fair yet and given yourself swamp ass from all of that super-weird-looking grub? Well, even if you have, you should hit it up once again this week, because there are a number of supercool events that can only happen this time of year at the Arizona State Fairgrounds, 1826 West McDowell Road. Just avoid the mystery meat this time.

One of our faves is Figure 8 Racing in the main grandstand. According to the press release, it promises to be a blast because “crashes are inevitable, and thrilling.” Only at the Fair, we’re telling you.
