Demolition Derby & Teams
Saturday 22 March 2008

The nearest thing to Banger racing in New Zealand......Demolition Derby Teams racing.
There are precious few Derby Teams meetings over here, and sods law says that when you do
get a couple of meetings, they happen on the same day.
So whilst Ferndene was running the "Unlimited Bangers", Palmerston was left with
the 4 cylinder jobbies.
A few new teams this year, including the Whakarongo Scrappers, but it was left to the
highly experienced Palmerston Firecats and the Takapau Terrors to fill the finalists
berths.
A truly viscious final, saw the Firecats take no prisoners as they set about destroying
the Terrors in clinical fashion.
In the 60 x car Demolition Derby, victory went to #20 Buster "Eliminator"
Taylor.
