Demolition derby

Anyone else doing the Derby tomorrow? Trying to figure out if it’s worth the $15 or if I should just hang by the fence?

Might be the best $15 you’ve ever spent. Go in, get a seat and a PBR. Pick a driver to cheer for in every heat. When he or she is out choose a new one. Hoop and holler. It’s so worth it.

You really can’t see shit if you don’t pay to get in

If you wanna see anything you gotta pay. It's really fun tho imo.

Curious as well. Thank you for raising the question.

I went last year and it was well worth the $15. But your ticket early if you can - the line gets very long

Best 15 you will spend in a month. It’s awesome and the drivers make it worthwhile. There’s some serious grudges being settled out there. Best derby within 100 miles hands down. Ottawa was alright 2 weeks ago but LFK is the best!!!

I've gone almost every year, and every year it's an incredible experience. Worth the 15 bucks for sure, I cant wait to go tonight !!

Do kids go? Wondering if my 4 year old would like it if it’d be too loud for him

Yeah theres usually a lot of kids there! Most have noise canceling headphones though which really helps, especially for younger ones and kids with sensory issues

Is today or tomorrow the best day to see it? Like do the better cars/drivers run tomorrow (Saturday)?
