👀💥ATTENTION...we are asking for anyone with a tractor, skid steer, backhoe, etc to volunteer and assist in car removal from the arena for our Spring Clash Demolition Derby on Saturday May 30th at 7pm. We may be short a couple of our regulars and want to ensure quick removal after heats to keep the action going. We appreciate your consideration of doing so. As a nonprofit that all proceeds go to the maintenance and improvement of our fairgrounds, we depend on the many volunteers that contribute. Thank you!

⚠️ Coming to Friday night of the Owen County fair!
This is a new event, so please share!! Rules have been updated and are pinned to the top of our profile. $40 entry fee allows car in all events on Friday night.

‼️UPDATE‼️
Bump & Run: The number of heats for the Bump & Run will be based on cars that sign up. We plan on having a large feature based on car count and will advance as many cars as we can for that from the heats. One adult passenger will be allowed in the Bump & Run only if the proper safety gear and door protections are in place. Heat and consi qualifiers will be 8 laps. 15 lap Feature.

Figure 8 race will be feature races of 10 laps, no passengers.

"Wreck It League" Auto Soccer: Event will consist of 2 teams designated by colored flags. Team sizes to be determined by car participation at sign up. Large 1/2" thick metal ball to be pushed through goals at each end of the arena. There will be a limo goalie at each end that can only try and block the ball. Teams can block other cars or push the ball. They can also strike or block the goalie. Team with most goals in a 10 minute time limit wins.

These are all new events and we are working with drivers to make this a great time for everyone involved. We've had a lot of input and suggestions and the format of the entire show is fluid at this time and subject to minor changes. It is all about creating something unusual and fun for drivers and fans. Please support it if you can, because as you know from the past, if it doesn't put people in the stands it goes away. Spread the word and bring your junk! If successful, we will build it up and make it better each year as we have done our regular shows.

‼️ SPONSORS ‼️Any businesses wishing to sponsor trophies or add to payouts will be advertised publicly and included on trophy placards. We have a sponsor package available upon request and you can do so by sending us a message.

Thanks to everyone who has shown such a positive interest in this special event and working to make this a Friday night family fun event at our fair. It's going to be crazy...just the way we like it!
