Demolition Derby, a cultural overload
So I went to the Regional Extreme demolition derby with my son tonight. It was an overdose of cultural input.
The people watching was the best part, until the derby began. It was a sea of camouflage, Dale Jr. phones and tatoo’s….with a below normal count of teeth. It was a redneck’s dream for girls. Most were wearing clothes analogous to packing 10 pounds of manure in a 5 pound bag.
As for the rest of the audience, smoking was required, and most worked in construction or at a garage repairing cars. Weldon Welding sponsored many of the cars. The funniest part was when a Nextel walkie talkie went off, 50 people went for their phone…me too.
But when the race began, all was forgotton and all eyes and cheers were focused on cars smashing each other until only one was left running. In other words, spectacular.
All this heat, smoke, bugs, and to top it off, we were there too, and had a great time. Father and son
gotta love the old demolition derby. get any pictures?
