FENELON FAIR TO ADD DEMOCROSS EVENT

It’ll be double the Motorsport fun at the Fenelon Fair this year with the addition of “Democross” - a new exciting automobile event on Saturday at 2 PM.

“Democross” is a Demolition Derby style event where cars compete at their fastest possible speed around the performance area… at times literally becoming airborn. Democross is described as a cross between Demolition Derby and Motocross.

The event is run similar to a figure 8 race but this time the cars drive in a circle pattern. Winning driver in each heat is the first one to complete 15 laps. As the drivers navigate each lap they must go over two custom built ramps that will literally project the cars into the air. As well as being a sport that includes more “aggressive” driving than is tolerated on the highway the real excitement begins when two (or more!!) cars try to go over a ramp at the same time.

The event is open to licensed (G1 or better) drivers 18 years of age and over driving any 1980 or newer two wheel drive passenger car, sub compact SUV or ¼ truck with a 4 or 6 cylinder engine with a wheel base of 113 inches or less. Similar to regular Demolition Derby events cars must be built according to the Democross rules which can be seen in detail on the website at ontariodemoderby.com.

In addition to the excitement of watching the event spectators can enter to win a chance to actually drive a car in the event which will be prepared in advance by the Ontario Demolition Derby staff.

“Democross” which will take place at 2:00 PM on Saturday July 19 th at the Fenelon Fair is a completely separate event from the regular Demolition Derby which will take place as usual Saturday night at 7 PM. Both events will be produced and officiated by Ontario Demolition Derby.

Again this year all those 13 years and under attending the Fair on Friday night or Saturday will be given a ballot to enter a free draw (which will take place Saturday night at approximately 8 PM) where someone will win a BMX bike supplied by Grimsby Tire in Bobcaygeon.

Fenelon Fair will take place July 18, 19 & 20 in Fenelon Falls. For more details or to enter either the Saturday afternoon Democross or the Saturday evening Demolition Derby visit ontariodemoderby.com or e-mail rob@ontariodemoderby.com
