Demo Derbies and Such

The '87 Integra was put to rest this past weekend, and it was beautiful. Owen drove it in the Alexandria, KY demo derby, and he did a great job. The car looked better after they painted it than it did when I was driving it!

He did a great job driving it - he was zipping all over and smashing into people, as you would expect in a demo derby of any caliber. There were about 20 cars entered in the compact car division, and he wound up coming in fifth. Not too bad considering that he was the only unibody-style car left at that point! The Integra was still ticking, but the clutch was burnt out. So, it was a happy ending for a great car. What a great "one-last-hurrah"!
