Demo Derby 2010

Derby time once again. It's a family tradition, Shane's passion....and I just go along for the ride. This year, as with most year's, did not disappoint. There was 1 truck, 2 crazy eight cars and 8 demolition derby cars. It's a team effort and the goal is to have at least one car in the top 5. This year we managed to have one car win the whole thing and also take 3rd, 4th and 5th. Shane won his heat in the afternoon and ended up 5th overall!! It was a beautiful, HOT day!! We all had a great time...until next year!! Shane and his right hand man, Trum, working on all the finishing touches before the derby.
Grandma and the fellas sporting the NewYorkLife Racing Tee Shirts! We were the hit of the fair. We had strangers walking up to us wondering where we got them and if they could have one!

The cheering Section!
More cheerleaders!

Looks like some good 'ole fashioned fun! I think we'll stick with our pinewood derby car racing however. :)

Love the t-shirts too. Go Orange!
