Qualifying On Tap At Dresden Demo Derby

The final preparations are underway for the annual Dresden Demolition Derby tonight.

Derby promoter Dan Fry says for the first time ever, the event is a qualifier for the Simcoe Williams Cup championships, so they're expecting some good competition.

"Some of them just started a couple weeks ago, it all depends," says Fry. "Some of the guys who are running in the pro-mods for the qualifier have been working on them since last year -- they can have $30,000 to $40,000 invested in them."

Fry says they are also raffling off a chance to participate in the derby.

The gates open at 6pm at the Dresden Raceway.
