Demolition Derby
1981

My mom found this car for me
from the After the first derby, we
learned some things about how to make the car more suitable for bumping with
the big engine boys. I wasn’t
able to stay free and got pinned and knocked out early. Next, we took the car to another
derby… I forget where though.
Notice that this time the car is quite a bit shorter. Notice the trophy on the hood!!! Hard to tell from this picture but the
passenger door was interfering with the steering wheel by the end of the
final heat… it was one narrow car! |

A few years later, my brother in
law donated his college car to the cause… This little car also had an
inline-6 but was considerably smaller… a new tactic was needed. Here I sat with an attitude. I ran two heats with this
one. Made it to the finals but
was knocked out by the big cars.
I did trophy for “Most Aggressive Driver 1983 Rush-Way Circuit”. Not much left of this car. |
