Crashing is Cool

Posted by on May 31 at 11:28 AM

So I took my first trip to the Evergreen Speedway in Monroe last weekend and that place RULES! We went for the demolition derby—a night that included figure eight races by school buses, yellow hornet cars, cars towing boats, and a bunch of burned out, Repo Man-style junkyard scraps on wheels. High speeds, a couple crashes, devil autos that shot fire, and a fireworks finale—you couldn’t ask for much more. Except for being able to tailgate in the parking lot unmolested by security guards (where else does that happen these days?). If you get off on people (nearly and really) crashing into each other faster than the law would ever allow, check out the schedule for the next demo derby here. The three kids in the ironic mullet wigs the night we were there didn’t even need ‘em. It’s a pure adreneline rush.
