Davey Kemsley is from just outside Edmonton Alberta Canada it was a 16 hour haul for him. He is a legend in the derby community up here. He will drive 12 hours and win a derby. Love the old iron derby classes like this.
Man I haven’t seen derby’s like this since I was a kid…. I’m 41, and in New York ya can’t find anything like this any more…. We have the hemlock fair and this is what my childhood was, big real cars and hitting hard. I even remember the days before they required boat tanks in the cars… there was gasoline and fires Everywhere it was amazing and freaking dangerous… all I wanted to do as a kid was drive cars like this in the derby but as I became a more sane adult I realized I prob shouldn’t do it. 😋 awesome videos
I'm from the u.k, I used to do banger racing in the 90's, the DD's you guys have in the US look fun, even though the speeds are quite low. What I want to know is why you re direct the exhaust headers through the hood?
They can go through the floor and injure the driver. They will also stop for axles and springs for the same reason and they can be thrown out of the track and injure the patrons
@joewie9491 it's is if the car is sitting still. The issue is guys will use it as a shield as they would rather be hit in the door versus take a hit to the wheel. With the good roll cages in these cars they can take it. It is still frowned upon but if both cars are moving it can be hard to decide if something was a real accident
@@All4HimRacingVideos really? Even at the low speeds in derbies? They dont do that in the u.k in banger racing and the cars are pushing speeds of 60/70 mph
I hate seeing these old iron cars in a wire class. I’d much rather see them built to the hilt. Do these old relics some justice rather than one and done.
Can't stand sand baggers. If you don't want to play the right way, don't play at all. Where I raced they would paint a flower on your door and tell everyone else that that's the car to hit.
Dude what are you talking about they were all hitting hard you definitely need to put your glasses on stop whining and complaining I see no sandbagging
@@rodvanness3973 I don't understand it. It's a contact sport. Hits are supposed to be aggressive. If all you want is a prize, go play T-ball. Everyone gets a ribbon. I have no problem with strategy and not trashing your car in the first minute, but I looked for cars that looked too clean and would do everything I could to push those car on the wall.
5150 was ringing some bells. I hope all these heats are this good.

Felt so bad for the 42 wagon, that car was immense, real unfortunate shot.
And hes from cali me and my dad know him and a few other people in the derby scene
Really good heat! Knock down drag out!
I was there and got a perfect clip of that hit it was brutal but this was a really good event ❤
Semper Fi to my boy in the USMC car! Very fast paced demo!

Great to watch. Many thanks. England, August, 2024.
7x9 showed some good sportsmanship letting the officials know that someone might be hurt
finally a derby thats not a swamp

I’m guessing the drivers of the 42 and 5150 were teammates or something
Love the announcers letting you know how much time you got left
Did anyone hear if the driver in 42 was okay.? Did 7x9 get black flagged or was he broke?
Why did you have them do a rolling start
Does it count if you hit a dead car from keeping your timer up
Who was driving that 42 Station wagon?
Brian Hortin I think his name was
Why are they so worried about bumpers at derbies?
They can go through the floor and injure the driver. They will also stop for axles and springs for the same reason and they can be thrown out of the track and injure the patrons
I hope the driver of the 42 is ok
Wet down the track, need more mud.
37 circles forever without hitting
Wow a lot of driver door hits
Is itban illegal hit if you hit the drivers door? I think it was a long time ago.
I meant is it an illegal hit

Why do they keep stopping it to pick up bumpers? 😂
@fuzzypeach I've seen cars run over bumpers and they rip through floor and into drivers compartment. Pretty dangerous actually
@@All4HimRacingVideos really? Even at the low speeds in derbies? They dont do that in the u.k in banger racing and the cars are pushing speeds of 60/70 mph
@@fuzzypeach yea, these aren't low speeds. This is very different from banger racing.

@@evanpauley9831 Seriously? Obviously you never raced. I don't argue with people that only drive the bleachers. Maybe you should watch it again.
Definitely dude! No sand bagging here 😅
I agree with you! The dude that won was sand bagging the entire first half of the race. I hate that!

thx for the vid, music wes very annoying-not needed
That announcer could of shut up. Like the drivers can't hear you anyways. And all I could hear is you not the cars
real cars, I'm so sick of the new heavily modified demo cars, its not even remotely fun to watch.
No such thing as old iron anymore
@gavinrunkle1519 it was at this show, rare occurance
Sucks
