If you've never been to a demolition derby you are missing out! It is my new dream to be a demolition derby car driver. Who wouldn't want to play bumper cars with the real thing! it's so fascinating to see what happens when cars smash together. The loud beefy engines, the anticipation as one car gets momentum, the smash, the crunch, the mangling, and the explosion of the radiator vapors! It's so much fun!
As if the derby wasn't enough, there was a T-shirt contest in between heats. . . a frozen T-shirt contest that is. Rolled up frozen T-shirts were given to contestants who competed to be the first to unroll and put on the shirt. It looked like fun.
After seeing three or four people walk bast with a mouth-watering funnel cake, we had to get one. I love funnel cakes!
When the show ended we were hearded out of the parking lot like cows and I was tempted to start my own demolition derby but reason got the best of me. I hope someday my dream of becoming a demolition derby driver comes true!

This is one of my favorite highlights of the event. X-69 revved up and t-boned a car, simultaneously getting it's front end caught as it flipped the victim car on it's side.
And Daniel's dream could come true some day. At the beginning of the derby they had a raffle drawing and the winner got to be a driver in the second heat. He did a pretty darn good job too!I'll just close with this last comment...people watching at these kind of events is just as entertaining as the event itself! And you all know what I mean.
