Demo Derby off to a roaring start

Pretty early on a car was rolled and the driver was able to climb out of the vehicle and appeared unharmed.

Flying dirt, smoke, engines revving and cheering filled the air as heat by heat cars took to the track.

The driver whose car rolled smiles and puts his hands in the air after the car was rolled back onto its wheels.

Cars struggled to stay on track as they were pushed, bumped and hit by other cars trying to make their way around the track.

Drivers had a blast kicking up dirt and crashing into each other as they tried to win the race.

Many vehicles lifted a wheel or two off the ground when hitting one of the tires, another car or even just one of the many potholes formed in the track.

Brandon Douglass, who flagged the races, moves to get out of the way of the dirt kicked up by the cars.

Parts of cars were removed from the track between heats by demo staff.
