Demo Derby Women

[ladychaos]

Any women who derby on here? How did you get into demolition derbies?

[C4]

Plenty out there. Not many, if any, left on here. My wife back in the day, and my daughter (29) currently. Daughter got her first win last year.

Congrats to your daughter. Do you build cars together?

[C4]

For the most part, yes. She'll strip hers at home and bring them here for building.

As for getting into it, she was kind of born into it.

My daughter watched me for 20 years doing it then at 33yrs old she chose to run a street stock for her first derby , Didn't agree with the promoter who put 10 full size V-8's in with 10 109in wb V-6 fwd cars but she had a 6th place finish with some badly bruised ribs from a d*ck who deliberately gave 3 drivers door hits from a full size wagon . proud of the kid but she said One and done because Dad & Hubby almost went to jail that night when he started running his mouth after the derby . butt heads like that ruin the sport .

My little sister runs, although this will be her last year. She got in to it because Forks, wa is out in the middle of bum Fudge no where and the 4th of July is the biggest event there is in that town, and one of the few places that still run a women’s only powered puff. Biggest thing she’s has to deal with is showing up and running the car not knowing how to drive it or what the cars capable of “girly girly” doesn’t want to hurt anything.

Powder puff derby’s got alot of women started. Many through family and friends helping them get into any car. Compacts are a cheap place to start. Highly recommended. However, I have driven against enough talented woman drivers in my career. That car doesn’t care who is driving. Motorsports in general have proven to be a level playing field when it comes to gender. I have nothing but respect for the lady drivers. I will hit them the same as anyone else. The cars, track, etc are equal for everyone.
