  Demolition derby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Demolition derby is a motorsport usually presented at county fairs and festivals in the USA.
Most demolition derbies are held on dirt tracks or open fields that are usually soaked to become muddy to further slow the vehicles.
Demolition derbies were first held at various fairs and race tracks by independent promoters in the 1950s.

Ten minutes after I talk to her, Cindy and 56 of her fellow drivers are in a last-minute huddle with Todd Dubé, president of the Demolition Events National Tour, or DENT.

 P.O.V. - Speedo . The History and Future of the Demolition Derby | PBS
Photographer and demolition derby fan Bill Lowenburg traces the history of the sport from its origins to Pinky Tuscadero to its present-day status as a county fair phenomenon — and asks promoters and competitors what the future might hold.
Purists may argue that the event was in fact a race and not a true demolition derby — in which the sole objective is to smash and disable the competition.
Although demolition derby's passionate competitors, promoters, and fans do not seem overly concerned with the exact beginning of their sport, some are worried by its uncertain future.

 Demolition Derby to rock Fairgrounds
The demolition derby world calls drivers who shy away from the action "sandbaggers" and while their actions will keep their vehicle from getting munched, it won't elevate them to the next round and a grab for the glory and the prize money.
Legendary demolition derby cars like mid-1960s Chrysler Imperials are now outlawed because their frames are just too strong against more modern autos with crumple zones and unibody construction.
The derbies - Holland likes the word "destruction" rather than "demolition" because the latter indicates something is blown up - originated in the 1950s and by the early 1970s, racing stars like Mario Andretti and Al Unser were filling arenas.

Describing the Conservatory as an "accessory structure" and therefore immune to demolition oversight procedures, the Safety and Permits Department caved in to direct pressure from the Institute and granted the demolition permit.
The Department had previously scheduled a hearing on this demolition, at which time the public would have had the opportunity to discuss the impending destruction of their property.
A public hearing to determine the necessity and legality of the demolition of the Conservatory is the very least that the public should expect from the City.

 Lind Combine Demolition Derby
The combines, which must be inoperable for harvest and at least 25 years old, are dolled up with paint and crepe paper and driven (I use the word loosely) into the rodeo arena.
I go for a $1.50 hotdog, and am consoled by the fact that all proceeds are sheer profit for them, since they don't waste any time or energy on heating it up.
For the derby a combine doesn't need a front scoop, wheels, a back cowling or much of anything else.
