Lind’s combine demolition derby returns
The Lind Combine Demolition Derby is an unmatched tradition in the area.
For more than two decades the farm implements that once worked the local fields and eventually fell victim to age or technology, have been converted into racing machines. The event attracts a dedicated fan base along with those interested in seeing what has been featured on national television as an alternative to the more traditional automobile carnage.
Spurred by a local farmer who hoped to get one last hurrah out of his equipment, the derby is organized by the Lind Lions Club and is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Adams County with more than 5,000 in attendance. The combine demolition derby is Saturday. This year’s event also features an automobile demo derby tonight and wraps up on Sunday afternoon with a soap box derby at Smart’s Hill.
Pushing for glory and trophies is nice but for this unique style of motor sports, a payout of more than $10,000 is an added reason to convert a combine into a stunning piece of racing hardware. Style is also part of the game as combines are displayed for fan support in a best-decorated contest.
Additional festivities include grain truck and pickup truck racing inside the Lind Arena, which is located one mile off Highway 395. For tickets and other information go online towww.lindwa.com.
Today: Automobile Demolition Derby, 6 p.m.
Saturday: Pick-up and Grain Truck races, Combine Demolition Derby, 2 p.m.
Sunday: Soap Box Derby, 2 p.m.
26th Combine Demolition Derby Today and Saturday. Saturday morning includes a kiddie parade, grand parade and barbecue. Afternoon events begin at 1:30 p.m. with pick-up races followed by the annual Combine Demolition Derby, grain truck races and pickup finals. Soap box races conclude the weekend activities Sunday afternoon. $15. (509) 660-0275.
