Down and dirty
Dust and dirt were kicked up by cars while making sharp turns, sometimes sending dirt into the spectator stands.

To begin the evening, drivers first completed time trial laps, which then separated the drivers into different heats.
Races were first done in heats, where eight drivers faced off against each other.

OTHELLO – The Othello Rodeo Grounds was full of smoke, engines revving and cheers for the 2022 Othello Demolition Derby, held on Wednesday night, which brought in drivers for a variety of different events.
Once time trials were completed, drivers were separated into different heats based on the time recorded during the preceding trials. Eight cars entered the arena for each heat, and completed eight laps before having a winner declared. Each heat saw smoke, dust and dirt fly through the air, with drivers maneuvering past other cars in an attempt to place first.
Throughout the heat races, several cars had to be either pushed out by fellow competing drivers or towed out using a bulldozer – with some cars ending with their wheels displaced, rendering the vehicles unable to move.
Spectators cheered on other events at the demolition derby as well, including a trophy dash, powder puff, Australian pursuit and more.
