DERBY



It's called a Demolition Derby-basically,a bunch of knuckle-dragging Neanderthals get together at the local dirt race track or county fair and smash their cars together until they won't run any more-the last running car wins a prize, usually a couple hundred bucks, a trophy and a kiss from the local Pork Queen, Large, old American cars are the weapons of choice, especially the Imperials, due to their structural superiority,usually all the glass, trim, grills etc. are smashed out with a sledge hammer, or ax prior to the event, the car's 440 , 413,or hemi is ripped out and discarded in favor of a GM engine, the doors are welded shut, giant holes are torched in the hood for exhaust stacks, roll cages are welded in. Thousands of clean old cars are destroyed in this manner every year, with no end in sight, you can usually spot these Neanderthals at any estate sale,or auction where there are Imperials being sold, they're the ones that are drunk at 9 am, chew tobacco, drive rusty Chevy pickups and have the letters D. E. N. T . emblazoned on their filthy, sweaty, beer-stained t-shirts...

Ok, dont anyone laugh but can someone tell me what "Derby" is? It does not sound like it is a good thing and it sounds dangerous for any vehicle not just Imperials! Why would anyone want to gut a car-what is the beuaty of that!
