Annual Spicewood Destruction Derby

This is an annual event (around the same time every year; check their website foe each years exact date) that helps supports the Spicewood Texas Volunteer Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services (~$ 20k of their needed $ 150k budget… with easily well over 1000 attendees, the event is huge!). A great way to spend an evening doing something a little different, definitely exciting and fun, and helping an important community element!
If you’ve never been to a auto demolition derby, this was my first time, you’ve certainly missed out — here’s your chance. :)
Adult admission is only $ 10 p/​p, kiddos 12 and under $ 5. While there are concessions on-​site selling food and soft drinks, you can bring in a ice chest for s 5 buck fee (with snacks, water, sodas, beer, whatever… saves you some $$$). Gates open at 4; action starts around 6 and goes on until 9−10pmish.
Pros:
*Inexpensive fun for adults and kiddos alike. Large area behind stand with literally 100 kids playing, kicking a ball.
*Free parking. [Tip: If you have a truck of any sorts, drive it. The massive grassy lot is quite bumpy.] Even though it was so crowded, with rows and rows of vehicles, exiting was easy and didn’t take long at all.
*BYOIceChest= save$ & eat and drink what you want.
*Car trashing is just cool. I don’t just want to watch. I wanna do it! Maybe next year.
*GREAT people watching… from ALL walks of life! Lots of friendly folks who really lend to the excitement.
Cons:
*Dusty…as expected. Be prepared to literally «kick the dust off» when you get home (or even, a long shower).
*Most people were drinking beers (lots of it), and several were even passing around shots. Seemed like most people had a DD, but still take caution when walking the lot area. Just sayin’…and I did smell some Mary Jane a few times. Eh. Whateva!
Crash, bash, smash… and the winner is!!!
