A few friends and I went to a Demolition Derby on Saturday night. There are no other words to describe it other than pure redneck fun! Here are some pictures of the evening:




The car I was cheering for got high centered on the concrete barrier. Sad day for me...


And if you are really curious as to what constitutes a "redneck" event. Here are three clues. 1) the crowd leaves their seats to participate in a giant "Boot Scootin' Boogie" contest.

2) Women show up with their hair ratted so high it looks like something is nesting in it (she woman in center of picture):

3) They bring in tractors to clear the demolished cars instead of tow trucks:

Nothing could be better than watching cars bash into each other over and over until each car becomes nothing more than a pancake on wheels. Well, if it keeps it's wheels. Sometimes the cars were driving on just their rims and the hoses were flopping around spraying everywhere until the car would finally overheat and start smoking. But even then...they kept on going. We simply could not believe these people didn't die or have their car burst into flames! It was a barrel of laughs and we enjoyed it so much that we promised to go again next year!
My roommate is in the process of putting all our pictures into a short video. So stay tuned for more derby fun!

Where was it? I went to one last summer back near school (my 1st), good times I'll tell you. SOOOO funny! My friend knew a guy in it. Course it had been raining right when we arrived so that made it more entertaining...they were ALL over the place! :)
