Truck Pulls and Demolition Derbies

Does anyone else still do these? We still have these at the County and State Fairs.

They used to draw larger crowds.

I have to admit the Monster truck smashing those small cars is still pretty fascinating.

My daughter used to cause me to imagine I was involved in one of those, but she's really become a good driver now.

Well, they still have them - I understand many have ceased having them... it sure brings in some rough looking characters. They used to have a lot of fights.

I am a EMT/Firefighter and our Dept. a presence at all these types of events. I am pretty much bored with them anymore.
