Demolition Derby

We went to the Demolition Derby here in Spanish Fork at the Utah County Fair and I have to say that it was pretty entertaining. I've never seen one before so I didn't know what to expect and I kept calling it the pinewood derby, Nate would just laugh at me. But I loved it. It was a lot of fun, how could watching a bunch of old beater cars bash each other in not be fun! I found this picture on the Internet until I can download the pictures Nate took on his phone... it pretty much looks like what we saw. They had firemen and EMTs all around just in case something went wrong.

Janice and Hans told us about it so we decided we would go and meet up with them. Eric and Laura called us later and told us they were going too. Eric told me that a couple of people that he works with and that I actually use to work with were going to be driving in it. It turned out that one of them won the whole thing... way to go Kurt! Actually knowing who was in the car made it even more fun to watch. Here are the winners:

August 16, 2008-Utah County Fair
1st Kurt Zabriski '76 Impala
2nd Johnny Gullo '74 Oldsmobile
3rd Billy Bowman Shocker
MAD Brad Bowman '78 New Yorker

So if you ever get the chance to go to a Demolition Derby you should defiantly go!

That same weekend we got to have Tammy, Brando and Brando's nephew Marcus come to visit us (to bad they didn't get here early enough for the Derby). Brando had tickets to the Jack Johnson concert so that was fun for him and Marcus and it turned out great for me because I got to hang out with my sister! I love when family comes to visit!!!! :)
