Combine Demolition Derby

Forget your run-of-the-mill demolition derby (where junker cars smash into each other). In Lind, Washington, they have demolition derby competition with … combines!

Each June the small town of Lind, with it’s one restaurant and one bank, celebrate Lind’s weekend complete with BBQs, car races, grain truck races, and the Combine Demolition Derby!!!! Hell, a normal demolition derby is great, let alone massive harvesters crashing into each other at what I can only imagine is high speed.

I went to see one of those in Monroe, MI which was pretty funny.
In fact I’ve got a photo of it on flickr:

There’s a great chapter on this race/derby in Chuck Palahniuk’s book Stranger than Fiction

I realize these are junk combines but they still have to be expensive to buy just to use for a demo derby. Looks like fun though.
