A couple things here, I see some negative comments about 10. I drive F8 in real life, have family who do demo derbies, etc. I'm 28 and have been going to races since I've been a baby. There's even footage of me as a child watching my aunt race at the local track. I know my stuff, sorta! 10 was just smart in the heat race. You don't wanna go out there and break everything before getting into the main event. He kept his hits even and flush on the rear bumper, and hit as often as he needed to. It's about where you hit, not about how hard. He didn't hit hard, because he doesn't have to. It's a heat derby, not a main event. 10 was a good driver, and a smart driver. A lot of these other guys went out there and swung as hard and as fast as they could, which works for like 3-4 really good shots and then your car is fucked lol. He wasn't sandbagging, he wasn't paying people to not hit him, he was just a step ahead of everyone else in terms of position and keeping his car together. It's about survival, not about the biggest hit last time I checked lol. Same thing in the main event. Try to catch peoples corners, quarter panels, and tires with a nice flush shot from the rear bumper. You don't see MMA fighters go out there and swing until they die, they take calculated shots.
He hit enough to not qualify as a sandbagger, but, he never once swung for the fences. Towards the end, you should do that. Some derbies will pay the mad dog just as much as the winner (a GREAT idea).
I can’t believe they didn’t put a good front bumper on these cars, the sheet metal pre 74 bumpers are junk. Plus that’s crazy they let a imperial run against a front wheel drive car number 36. That would be my ideal derby but the imperial needed a real bumper on the front.
Boring! If you want to see some real demolition derby action, seek out some of what us Brits do or even better, the Dutch! Loads of high speed hits, cars destroyed in one go! Try it!
@@symbologee Ah yes! The game that is so complicated that a lot of US citizens can`t understand the rules and watch UK soccer instead! Anyway, I`m more of a rugby fan myself. one of that stupid protection and helmets so you can actually see the players.
@@jbbumpkin I've watched hundreds of them. I'm a fan of them. BIG fan! The cars don't last obviously, but, pretty fucking interesting! I'm not opposed to banger racing what so ever. BUT, I also love the really good demo derbies too.
@@ronaldstrange8981 not you some other drive. That is a wrong Thing in Michigan If a promoter see that. Then the flag man will Hit the car and warn the driver
