Summer Celebration Slam Demolition Derby

04/22/2024

I've had a lot of people ask and meant to make a post earlier but we will not be having the Summer Celebration derby this year. We have something in the works for next year, just couldn't make it work this year. Thank you for all the support the last 2 years!

Today’s agenda: General admission is open at 12pm and the show starts at 2pm! General admission wristbands today are $20. We have an action packed day we have two consolation heats to start, the 80’s and newer filler class 10+ cars, kids Powerwheels, Calcutta, raffle car drawing, and 10k main event! Pit passes are $30 all day and you must check in and sign the pit crew waiver. We have concessions and beer, and lots of derby action!

06/24/2023

PIT PASSES TOMORROW WILL BE FULL PRICE FOR THE DAY $30 - we had too many people take advantage of going into the PITS after they were closed down for the evening before the show and NOT SIGNING WAIVERS! This is a liability to us as a promotion and need everyone in the PITS to sign the PIT CREW waiver, and get a wristband. Pit passes will be sold ALL DAY IN THE BLUE TECH BUILDING.
