You want to protect you own engine, so you drive in reverse. And
that irregular hole cut into the hood, that's so the fires can be
put out. And you're not allowed to hit an opponents driver door, or
you'll be disqualified. Mechanic and driver Bryan Hill has spent
weeks working after-hours on his 1970-something station wagon in
preparation of this years La Plata County Fair Demolition Derby.
Bryan's father has competed several times in the past and won the
purse at least once. Will Bryan's Barbie-pink No. 19 have what it
takes? Find out next Saturday, as the fairgrounds hosts yet another
installation of the crowd favorite Demolition Derby. The winner
will (hopefully) walk with more than $1,000 and maybe a car that
can be salvaged for another year.See the On the Town for more fair
information.
