A friend of mine is obsessed with demolition derbies.  He competes in several every year.  For months now he's been bugging me to make a documentary about derbies and the guys who take part in them.  It's not a bad idea actually.  But there was a small problem.  I'd never been to one.  How I've managed that is unfathomable, considering I grew up two miles from the county fairgrounds.  So this year, I finally went and enjoyed it thoroughly.  My kids loved it too.

My friend?  He was in it.  And my expert on the subject, the guy I'd rely on to give me all the good information?  He lasted about 30 seconds in the derby.

I might need a new expert.
