Demolition Derby with a $40,000 purse?

You heard me right. There was a demolition derby last weekend that I attended. They had a 20 car finale with a prize of $40,000 for the last car running. It had been roughly 15 years since I have been at a demo derby. All I have to say is wow. It was so much fun. They were pumping classic music like Skid Row, Warrant, GnR, Metallica and the rest.

Burnt tires, fire and gas. It was amazing to see what these cars are capable of and still run. No rubber, rums falling off, no quarter panels.


To offer a little variety, they had a tough truck competition. Regular trucks, regular people driving, not regular roads. The truck below flies through the air right before breaking an axle and forfeiting.
