This crash is faux real

This may be a short post.

But the idea is this, demoliton derby needs to institute some sort of governing body.

I had the distinct pleasure of attending my first DD this past summer. It was intense. I was almost immediately enamored. Now I don't know if the novelty of actual cars actually running into each other and actually catching on fire would wear off should I become a regular, but it may not. A more likely cessesation of my interest would come from the massive amount of gasoline fumes that seem to rise from the 'field' and settle around the crowd. Those got old after a while.

But when I went to find out more about the sport, there didn't seem to be one voice clearly explaining what I had just seen. In fact, there were a lot of voices telling me there were a lot of voices and that certain things were common, but that there were no absolutes. Now maybe, this is a good thing. This is how sports used to be. Things were regional, not national. And this had its benefits. A lot of them in fact. But in todays world, where information is collected so readily inside of the internet, I was frustrated.

So with some reservation, I say, demolition derby, find yourself organized.
