For my first demo derby as well as the first for my 7 and 11 year old boys, we were impressed by the number of cars involved, the great announcing, and the entertainment. The grandstands protected us from the rain but allowed for a muddy field which made the event even better.
Even watching the sledge hammer crew at work on the tie rods was cool in between the heats.
Overall, a nice couple of hours of enjoying good old fashion smash mouth demolition.
