As the green flag signals the start, the spontaneous roar of missing, un-mufflered, dilapidated automobiles, resembling the freeway rush hour and herds of stampeding elephants. The "junker's" radiators start gushing steam geysers, blown tires belch bits of burning, stinking rubber and fenders buckle under the constant banging of bumper-to-bumper collisions. Drivers circle in a frenzy and rip at hapless victims less able to maneuver. Demolition Derby Championships start at 7:00pm In the rush, cars overturn, some completely on their roofs. As the merciless competition dwindles, the tactics become more dramatic. The winners of these contests possess the attributes of a true showman, a bravado, recklessness, nonchalance and insanity. The Demolition Derby is a JM Productions event.

His newly styled country music is truly a blend of many American musical styles, including country, rock, hip-hop, and rhythm and blues. With this musical mixture, Colt blazes forward with a new, creative sound for the all-American everyman. Read more Learn more at the Y108 Freedom Fest Website |
