Derby Provides Spills & Excitement
07/27/07 WGC

One of the biggest events at the Meade County Fair is the Demolition Derby which occupies two nights for the bumping and grinding of fenders and hoods. Thursday night was deemed as the “Open to the World” class for the series which allows anyone who had a car that met the regulations of the event to compete. Several moments had the nearly full arena crowd on the edge of their seat.

One of the moments was when during the Mini Car competition one of the cars flipped over onto its roof. The driver was not injured and the car was turned back upright and started back up after cleaning some mud from the exhaust pipes.

At the end of the night the top placements fell as:
