demo derby this Friday!

[mckitterick]

Yes I know - if you've never been to one, it sounds like a stupid thing to do with a Friday night. And yet! Yet! It's hugely fun and a great adventure. Here's the information (it's held during the Douglas County Fair).

Friday, August 4
7:30 p.m., Rodeo Arena
All Tickets $10.00

I've been going since I moved here and plan to never miss a year!

Best,
Chris

Ahhh, the Derby! Back in the days of yore, I was in the pit crew area several years running. I would sit on the huge logs below the grandstand, getting totally spattered with mud, inhaling exhaust and oil mist and burning rubber fumes, and not infrequently having to bolt out of the way of cars spinning into said logs. It was marvelous!

Haven't been back in years. Somehow didn't seem like it would be as much fun from the grandstands.

That sounds like a blast (literally!). Aw, but it's still fun to watch with your friends. Trust me, you still get hit by all the good stuff in the bleachers, though you are safe from the largest flying parts of cars.

Wow, one more thing I learn about people at work that I never knew.
