We all worked on the car every night getting it ready for the fair. We had to take out the glass, remove the chrome stripping, remove the gas tank and muffler amongst other things and find mud tires. We got to paint our car, we went and got sponsors, and agreed on a number. We had so much fun getting the car ready and determining who got to be the driver. The guys drew straws and Kurt got to be the driver. We had to purchase a helmet and get a trailer to haul the car over to the derby, which was about 9 miles away.
After all the preparing and the big day finally arrived, we all headed to the fair with our demo car. We sat there in lawn chairs all evening, some going over to the fair riding rides and others just walking around playing games or looking at all the 4-H animals. When it was time to get ready for the derby, Kurt wasn't able to drive...and neither was Sam...neither was Junior...neither was Dummy...neither was Ralph...neither was Murray...and neither was Biancarelli!! Who was going to drive the car in the derby?! We had worked so hard getting the silly thing ready! This was a guys race and all of our guys weren't able to drive!!! Time was ticking so I threw on the helmet and hopped in the car!! I ended up getting second place...only because my drive shaft fell off!!! I really hated to have to break my stick signifying that my car was done. 😥
Needless-to-say, my mom wasn't a happy camper when she found out I drove the demo car! She still gets annoyed when it gets brought up!! LOL Fun times!
Neither of these cars were our demolition cars...but ours looked just like these two!!!
