Crash-a-rama

This crazy event takes place in Bithlo, FL. It's a bunch of rednecks getting together to destroy all types of vehicles as creatively and stupidly as possible...oh, and from what I understand, there might be some drinking involved. The most well known event here is the figure eight school bus demolition derby (it's exactly how it sounds).

Tickets are $20 and it starts at 8pm.

There's been talk of leaving early and tailgating, though this may change now that we know the correct time.

The race track is the Orlando Speedway and is right off of SR 50 between Center and Orlando...hard to miss as long as you look out for painted school buses on the side of the road.

Okay, I know they race school buses and I think I heard that this year they're going to do races pulling boats trailers or something...does anyone know what other types of unusual vehicles they race?

Now we'll meet up in the HQ parking lot (all the way in the back were there are no cars) at 3:45PM SHARP. at that time we'll choose rides and all that. On the way out to bithlo there is a walmart and we can pick up anything that we may be missing for the tailgate. Jennifer and Juan talked earlier and we'll have hot dogs, chips and drinks (BYOB). if you want anything else than bring it.

Email Juan if you're planning on going so he can get a head count and we don't leave anyone behind

This was definately an interesting event. The figure eight bus race didn't have quite as many crashes as I'd hoped, but the demolition derbies had some interesting ones. One of the highlights of the evening was watching a jet engine car incinerate two cars. As soon as I get my pictures developed, I'll put some of the good ones up.
