Demolition Derby
DEER LODGE DEMOLITION DERBY
Tri-County Fairgrounds
Sunday August 21st, 2011
SPONSORED BY THE Powell County Chamber of Commerce
This years Deer Lodge Demolition Derby was very successful. We had a good number of vehicles, both large and Herby Derby. The grandstands were packed with spectators and everyone seemed to have a great time, with Crash the Clown entertaining the crowd and giving away prizes to the kids..
We witnessed a marriage proposal from one of the drivers (she said yes I presume from all the hugs and kisses!), and a couple of TV celebrities showed up as pit crew (Jimmy and James Smith from History Channel’s ‘Ax Men’).
Results will appear here soon.
The 32nd Demolition Derby started at 6pm with the first award going to the Best of Show.
Three heats followed, then the Herby Derby, a consolation round and then the Main Event.
