MERIDIAN, Idaho — For the first time in a decade, the Meridian Speedway held a Friday night Dairy Days Demolition Derby, which kicked off at 7 p.m. Proceeds from the event's ticket sales are going towards supporting FFA and 4-H scholarships and activities.
Hundreds of fans filled the grandstand to watch the iconic Demolition Derby:
"Go find your grandma's old car, give her 50 bucks for it, knock the windows out of it, and go have a good time," said one driver who came from Oregon to participate in the derby. "This car probably has 100 hours in it ... just to go tear it up in five minutes."
Step behind the scenes and hear from the drivers as they share their preparation strategies:
