The swoop races from KoTOR 1 and 2 made so much more sense that that nonsense. Also Tatooine was controlled by crime lords like Jabba so that's why it was legal
In canon, the son of one of the racers that died in the Boonta Eve race (pic rel) went on to get the Republic to completely outlaw podracing because it was too dangerous. So then we got Riot Racing in Bad Batch which is basically podracing but with guns attached.
>why would a 9 year old be into a suicidal death race and be allowed to do it?
He was a slave. They don't get to say no. >why did Shmi never object to this?
She did. She was a slave. They don't get to say no.
It was a different time
I dunno dude how was slavery legal in the same town
your priorities are fricked up if you focus on a race instead of that
They have helmets it's fine.
skill issue
why shouldn't it be?
So the driver gets blasted with hot air all the time from the rear of the engines being right infront of his face?
they have a little fan that cools them in the wiener pit
that's podracing
It wasn't. They bribed the cops.
I remember some video game as a kid that had pod racing and it was pretty fun. Forget which game it was though
Mario Kart 64 I think
Chrono Trigger

It was among the Outer Rimmers, real poodoo shit
Tatooine is literally run by crime lords, there is no rules as long as it entertains the Hutts

It was in what was basically space-Somalia.
What's Tatooine's tax policy?
Exporting slaves, drugs, black market goods.
Gangster planet.
