zeitgeist57 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 In planning for 2019, one of the things I want to take my kids to see (and they enthusiastically agreed) is a demolition derby. My 7-yo son loved Cars 3 where they drove in a Figure-8 race. I've always wanted to see one in person. I've seen a few events pop-up from time to time on Facebook...mostly county-fair-type events in neighboring rural areas. From experience, can anyone recommend a great demo derby? Either a series throughout the warm months, or a one-off event? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiji ST Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Don't they usually do one at the Delaware Fair every year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Don't they usually do one at the Delaware Fair every year?

SRTurbo04 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 How about a step further and take them to a combine demolition derby?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I’ve always heard talk of the Hartford and Lancaster fairs having pretty big events. You’ll probably find most of this stuff in the late summer and fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizin01 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 We went to the Hartford fair and saw demo derby a couple years ago. It was on par with the ones I saw as a kid up in Knox county when it was a big thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyctsv Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I have been to the Delaware figure 8 bus demo derby - it is fun. The short buses are way more fun than the normal school buses - way more speed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I've been to Lancaster for the combine demo derby, it was well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I've enjoyed truck/tractor pulls and demo derbies at the Fairfield County Fair in Lancaster a handful of times in my life, growing up in Pickerington. In the fall as others have said. Hartford Fair will forever be the king with the rough truck competition for me though. Great time always, but always busy too. Hit up both, and report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 I've been to Lancaster for the combine demo derby, it was well worth it. Combine derby out here is awesome. Cars have been iffy.. not good, not horrible. Clay they also have a power wheels derby for the kids. That may be fun for you and your kids.

xlr8tn Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 The combine derby in Lancaster is awesome. The fair out here in general is worth the trip. They always have several cool things that week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
