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

Ohhhhh....I don't think Ada would like it much at all. I'm not sure that Mac would like it much at all either.

Did I tell you that the '73 Oldsmobile Royale that I grew up with became a demo derby car? Yeah!

That's a derby car Daddy!

Man I've been wanting to go for years, but there's some bizarre force of nature that keeps me from it every time. This year I have to go to the free concert that the b-52's are doing at some god fuckin awful shopping center near the race track in KC. But I'm really into Kate Pierson and can't refuse the free opportunity to see them play.

One year I went to buy a car because I had a 76 Mercury Cougar that was about to die forever on me...and the guy's kid said "That's a derby car Daddy!" about MY car and I got an even trade off of it because he wanted it for the derby.

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.
