pogt 29--Shaw Mmdia Group 1981 Fair Gu/d» Contests and competitors DEMOLITION DERBIES are always a popular attraction at the fair, and this year there will be two contests -- one Fri­ day evening and another Sunday evening. Drivers will be competing for cash prizes and trophies. Fight to the finish in demolition derby WOODSTOCK -- Twice as much fun and excitement -- the famous Nationwide Demolition Derby is coming to the McHenry County Fair for two evenings instead of one. Performances will be at the grand­ stand on the fairgrounds at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7, and Sunday, Aug. 9. Men and women with plenty of nerve and a lust for thrills will stage deliberate crashes and compete for cash prizes and trophies. Local participants must supply their own cars. The car must be equipped with a safety belt and the driver must wear an approved crash helmet. When the green flag falls, the race becomes a highway crowded with crazy "Sunday drivers." The cars crash, smash and sometimes turn over until the competition becomes a dual bet­ ween the two surviving drivers. Then it is a fight to the finish. The checkered flag will signal the winner. With the flag goes a large cash prize. Official rules and entry blanks are available at the fair office on the Woodstock fairgrounds and at several other locations. All participants must be at least 21 years old or have a notarized release signed by their parents. Only American-made, hardtop automobiles arjg. eligible. No special bumpers or reinforcements will be permitted. The only exception are roll bars around the driver's compartment which will be permitted but not required. Official entry forms are available at several locations, all in Woodstock, including the fair office on Country Club Road; Taylor Auto Parts, 14065 S. Illinois 47; Limbaugh Sunoco Service, Route 47; Thomas Mobil Vl35 Washington St.; National Auto Parts, Church and Jefferson streets; Conoco Service, South and Jefferson streets; and Kristensen Standard Service, Wheeler and Washington streets.
