possibly the most entertaining demo derby event is BOAT RACING! This event is considered a "banger race", where drivers have both a vehicle and a boat attached without trailer, they then race around the track trying to annihilate as much as possible along the way. And don't worry, if you loose your boat, you can always push one around.
Saturday night we took my nieces to the Meridian Speedway to see my friend Gill drive in said event. It's funny, my two-year-old niece loved everything about the night. Every time a loud hit happened, she'd turn to me with wide eyes and purse her lips together saying, "ooooh!" But my six-year-old niece, the bigger one, was terrified the entire time. I don't think she likes loud noises. Anyway, Gill had a couple of epic spins, but burned out quickly. For sure I'll bake him some cookies to cheer up! There was once talk of doing so in exchange for a tattoo, but I'll do it sans tattoo now. During the race my sister leaned over our shared nachos and insisted, "Monique, you should text Gill!" And I responded, "I think of all the times to text and drive, now would be the least appropriate time to do so." We both started laughing hysterically. Soon after the race ended we decided that once Alby's car goes to the clunker gods (it's getting there) we're going to paint it pink and then enter a demolition derby! Raaaawr!! sorry, I really felt like growling. Demolition derbies will do that to you. You'll walk away wanting to destroy something, anything really. I just ended up vigorously ripping apart a post-it note I found on the bottom floor of my car, Hulk style.
