Destruction Derby

I love going to the destruction derby! Nothing like seeing cars and trucks smash into each other on purpose! They run lap races and time trials, figure 8's, rollover contest and my favorite, the last car standing finale! You can smell the leaking gas, watch as the firemen put out the bursts of fire, feel the rumble of the engines as they attempt to stay running, feel the excitement of the crowd and enjoy the food from the vendors. Last week there was a women that won 1st place in 3 races!!! Yeah for women drivers! Where else can a woman driver speed, drive crazy, crash into people and not get pulled over for it? This Saturday is another derby and I'm excited that the weather is going to maybe be better than the last one. It was raining, cold and windy. The mud was so thick on the track and we were sitting on the front row. When they came flying and sliding around the corner the mud flew. It's a good thing that our seats were about 12-15 feet up or we would have looked like little pigs in a pig sty! If you have never tried this sport, you must give it a go....it's very entertaining! Even discount tickets are available!
