Tournament of Destruction | September 22, 2018
Orange Crush and Rude Awakening put an exclamation point on the 2018 season and closed Round 5 with a chaotic confrontation. Rude Awakening’s thin supply of cars, thanks to short notice and some brutal races, forced them to be economical and make some friends. #78 Steve Schaefer made an impactful guest appearance and was […]

Madness.
Look no further for an example of certified fresh Team Demolition Derby excitement. No fewer than 10 significant strikes in the relatively short race duration of just over 2 minutes meant this was not a causal hit-n-run affair. It was hit or be hit; score laps or get lashed.
