Today (Sunday) I went to my first-ever demolition derby. After I got home from church I rode my bike to the fairground and for about an hour I was…not overwhelmed. Now mind you, to see old cars with straight-pipe exhausts straight from the engines scream their engines wildly while spinning their tires in mud and smash into each other is fun. The only problem was, the track, or pit really, was really small. I was expecting something with more speed, but then again, if it was faster, people would have a much greater risk of injury. But anyway, aside from that, the derby was pretty cool. I took mostly video after the first heat (Which by the way was a qualifier as the finals are tonight, but I knew it’d be way better for pictures in bright daylight) and my goodness, I’m glad my camera captured even a smidgeon of the noise those “cars” made. Wow. There’s nothing that gets my blood pumping like hearing that melodious roar of a floored accelerator. It’s just…awesome. Anyway, here are some pictures. And yes, some of the cars seem to be standing still, but sometimes it’s just fast daylight shutter speed. And to mix things up and to get some better action shots, I’m throwing in some video screenshots.
