Demolition Derby

I went to my first even demolition derby on Saturday night. I didn't even know that Utah had stuff like that! I honestly never would've pegged myself to go to one of those, but I actually really enjoyed it. It was super loud and I got sprayed with dirt (we were in the 4th row), but it was awesome! It was so cool to see these cars that were completely gutted just crash into each other. The whole point, which I was unaware of earlier, is to be the last car running or the last car to make a hit if there's only a few left. Basically, it was a big version of bumper cars, which I LOVE!

Some of the highlights were:

• There were 3 rounds of finals, the normal round, the love bug round, and the truck round. I picked the winners of the love bug and truck round, which were a little pink car and a 15 passenger van. My pick for the normal cars came in 3rd, which still isn't too shabby!
• One of the little cars rolled - the driver was fine, but it was freakin sweet!
• In the powder puff round, one of the girls had the back of her car on top of another one.
• Two people had to be taken out by ambulances and one had to be cut out with the jaws of life - kinda scary, but definitely something that I've never seen in real life before.
• There was a fireworks show at the end! I love fireworks, and so that made 3 shows that I've seen in the last few weeks. Yay for Utah and their abundance of fireworks!
