World’s Largest
Demolition Derby
Head on collisions, fires, and every car totally destroyed with a driver in it until only one champion remains!
Rain or shine!
DEMOLITION DERBY - FROM INSANITY TO PROFESSIONAL SPORT
Little is known of the early demolition derby but the common thread possessed by these drivers is "insanity". In 1953, race promoters and speedway operators alike shared the common fear of declining audiences. For the driver, winning became an obsession. In efforts to reclaim the spectators, race promoters at the Civic Stadium, in Buffalo, New York; recommended an all-new "Wreck-Em-Race".
Hopefully, this would satisfy thrill seekers with a
"throw-them-to-the-lions" appetite for excitement.
Daredevils lined up at the "Pit Gate" for the chance
to compete. They brought crumpled, rusted, nondescript
"junket" automobiles. Rules were non-existent, drivers
were told two basic bits of information: first, automobiles
must remain on the racetrack and secondly, the objective
was to eliminate the other cars from competition. A quarter-mile
of dirt racetrack was used to build up speed
and evade the other competitors in a "do or die"
automobile grudge match.
As the green flag signaled the start, the spontaneous
roar of missing, un-mufflered, dilapidated automobiles
resembled the freeway at rush hour and herds of stampeding
elephants. The winners of these early contests possessed the
attributes of a true showman: recklessness, insanity,
nonchalance and bravery.
But today's Demolition Derby, bares no resemblance to its
predecessors of circa 1950. The only reminder is massive spectator
appeal and the objective of the event. The method of the
presentation, however, is very different. Today's Demolition Derby
driver is a cautious and cagey competitor looking for the most
effective way to damage his opponent's automobile.
Today, rigid safety regulations govern Demolition Derby
automobiles. Likewise, safety considerations, appropriate attire
and skilled driving techniques are utilized in the tactical
approach in winning the "Championship" trophy and the coveted
title of "Champion".

Championship Double Figure 8 Auto Racing
and Compact Car Demolition Derby
Championship Figure 8 Racing is a form of action racing using compact cars to enhance the excitement for drivers and spectators. This form of figure-8, unlike other forms, will be in an area of 100 feet wide X 300 feet long!
Utilizing smaller lightweight cars takes on all the excitement of full-sized cars without the danger to the drivers. The speed will be up to 30 miles per hour with 5 to 8 cars allowed on the track at one time. Drivers need to out-think and out-maneuver their competitors in order to win with sheer chaos at the 2 figure-8 crossover points.
Because of the challenge and thrill this event presents, its popularity is growing rapidly.
Experience the motor mayhem as JM PRODUCTIONS' "CHAMPIONSHIP DOUBLE FIGURE 8 AUTO RACING"
is featured at the Northeast Fair.
This spectacular entertainment event will feature local daredevils competing for the coveted "Championship" title, trophy and prize money. All cars “remaining” from the double figure-8 race will compete in a compact car demolition derby.
