The Derby

Well I have to admit it was the best derby I have ever been to!! Bo did really awesome driving. He made the best turns, however he got hit in the front tire which bent the strut and caused him not to be able to go as fast.


This year was huge for Iron County!! The place was packed and there were more cars involved than I have seen. The first mini car heat, Mike's cousin-in-law Mario caught on fire on his first lap (I didn't get a picture though), and Mike's uncle Ryan tipped on his side. This year they decided to disqualify you if you tipped on your side or hood so he was out. However they wouldn't let him drive out they forklifted his car out. And they broke and ruined a few major things in his engine. Needless to say he was furious! As he had a right to be.
Last year the mini-cars were working on doing demo too, however this year, it was better. So much for just racing for the number one spot. Heck no it gets a little viscious out there!! But it was great. In the third demo heat 1 car was rolled to its hood, and the one that pushed it was pushed on it's (guess he got pay back).
Our friend Nicholas from Beaver did pretty well too! I was a little upset because a Parowan guy (who happens to be Mario's brother...) would run into Bo anytime he was near him and was the cause for a few of the hits the car took. Which is natural yes but also a long story. Anyway overall, it was a really good derby!
