Demolition derby has entertained motorsports fans since the 1940s as an exhibition-style event at county fairs, racetracks, and speedways primarily across the Midwest. The entered vehicles, which are most often purpose-built for combat, will battle in heats and features, in single or team divisions to be the last vehicle standing at the end of the event. Cars can hit or crash into any part of their opponent’s vehicle except the driver-side door, with vehicles staying alive by engaging in contact with their opponents within a 60-second hit clock. Every hit that is made resets your hit clock. Main targets include disabling steering components, wheels and tires, engines, transmissions, rear axles, or bending vehicle frames.
The popularity of this sport continues to grow at a rapid pace and today it is estimated that there are more than 250,000 participants worldwide who compete in front of sold-out crowds at more than an estimated 2,500 events annually.
A wide variety of vehicles are eligible to compete; mainly old school 1970’s GM Sedans/Wagons, 1960’s Imperials and new school Ford Crown Victoria’s. Teams work to make the vehicles as safe and as structurally sound as possible for competition.
