Women’s Team Demo Race!
The 12th installment of the “Racin’ For Boobs” Women’s Team Demolition Derby featuring High Risk vs. Double D Destroyers in a traditional 4-on-4, 5-lap race for survival. This isn’t a beauty contest; it is a fierce competition in a one-night-only, one race battle to prove who are the dominant divas of destruction. The women’s race, and the whole pink-themed event, is to support awareness and raise funds for the fight against breast cancer. Several previous drivers are current breast cancer warriors and survivors!
