These are so much fun to watch. Here in the Pittsburgh Area, one of the big local events is the Big Butler Fair, right around the 4th of July. One of the crowd favorites at the fair are the demolition derbies. And the favorite of all is the 24-Car Demolition Derby featuring 12 men, driving blue cars going up against their ex-wives/ex-girlfriends, driving pink cars.

For decades in the main rules section: Any car that flips will be considered out of the race Unless it is a complete flip and lands on its wheels. National Stock Demo. It hasn't been the world championship since the Mid-90's.

It’s amazingly difficult to shoot while you’re sitting down and then try to keep the flipping car in the frame as you stand up with everyone else in front of you.
