Update: The start time of the Figure 8 and Derby has been pushed back to 3 to let the current rain showers get through the area and allow some time for the track to be prepared after the rain.

I never could get an answer to my question before Saturday night, so maybe now that the event planners aren't as busy, someone could help me out. I have copied and pasted the information that was posted on this derby and was wondering how the $5000 purse for the demo was broken down to the 10 or 12 spots that they paid. Thank You, Creighton Demuth The Nebraska Points Championship demo derby's will have a added bonus this year. All the demos will be qualifiers for the CDDA four state championship demo derby Oct 13 in Abilene KS put on by Chad Markley. The states involved are NE, KS, MO and OU. 7 of the demos will have 4 qualifiers (1st,2nd,3rd and maddog) The state fair will be a Super Qualifier with 6(1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th and Maddog) All entry fees for the qualifiers will be payed by NPC. Only way to run in this demo is to qualify in one of the qualifiers. Will post CDDA demo payout and link later. Points demos: #1 Annevar Demo Ravenna NE June 17th $5000 purse CFC 4 Qualifiers #2 GVFD Demo Gibbon NE June 30th $8000 purse BDT Prom 4 Qualifiers #3 Adams County Fair Hastings NE July 22nd $10,000 purse Hanson/Fishers 4 Qualifiers #4 Phelps County Fair Holdrege Ne July 25th $10,000 purse Slammin Sammy prom. 4 Qualifiers #5 Buffalo County Fair Kearney NE July 28th or 29th $10,000+ purse CFC 4 Qualifiers #6 NE FIGURE 8 Demo Wahoo NE Aug 25th $5000 purse (one heat) DDOT 4 Qualifiers #7 Nebraska State Fair Grand Island NE Sept 3rd $10,000 purse DDOT 6 Qualifiers #8 Kearney clean-up CANCELLED 2012 payout: 1st-$1000 + trophy 2nd-$800 3rd-$600 4th-$500 5th-$400 6th-$300 7th-$200 8th-$100 9th-$50 10th-$50 total $4000 Read more: wesmash.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=pro2&thread=1309&page=1#7839#ixzz24lbSkG18 |

Hi guys
I would like to address a couple of issues. First I would like to really thank all the drivers and crews that came to Wahoo for the champ race. Thank-you for your patience (who knew 60 days no rain and it rains Sat) after our long wait we had some of the best racing and the best car count of the season Thank-you again, you guys make the show. Also I would like to thank everyone for keeping the fairgrounds clean, Sunday morning and no trash pickup. I also hope everyone will thank Todd and the OTI crew for providing food for our feast after the race and the kid’s candy grab. That was a good idea hope it continues thanks Todd and Crew
Now I would like to address the Demo purse. I am sorry Nefigure8n has not responded to this but we didn’t know what was going on. We were not part of these discussions. We turned over the running of this show to the Wahoo Fair board, not Nefigure8n as in previous years. This was done because it was hard to find volunteers because everyone was racing, and renting the track in David City had more than doubled. AS decided by the Email vote we put it out for bids at the fair convention. This was Wahoo fair boards show. Nefigure8n had no control over what was added to the show ( demo, combine demo, and compacts) but due to your concerns Theron, Mike and I have been on the phone with Leon (Nebraska point’s championship), Saunders county fair board president and DDOT officials. This is what we were told. Fair board says the purse has been dependent on car count that is why no amount was ever advertised they did pay DDOT $250.00 to make the event a point’s race. DDOT said they payed Leon the money to become a points race and no purse amount has ever been discussed. Leon posted on the website that Wahoo was a point race. How this went from a purse dependent on car count to a $5,000 purse we do not know nefigure8n was never part of the discussions with Leon, the fair board and DDOT. Nefigure8n is very sorry for confusion this has caused. Also as said by a fairboard member Nefigure8n DID NOT fundraise for the purse or profit from this race. Nefigure8n did provide trophies and allowed the fairboard to use the nefigure8n championship race name If there are any more questions I can help anyone with I would be happy to answer them

Hello. NEfigure8N had no control over the show? " ...had no control over what was added to the show (demo, combine demo, and compacts) but do to your concerns....."
No control? who's show is it?
So, it was the Wahoo Fairboard that decided to have the demolition derby? This is what you want us to think? That is not working at this key board. It was well known there was to be a demolition derby at Wahoo from early spring. Was it also their idea to raise the pit pass price to $20 from the advertised $15? To put a show on is not that complex. Jeff, you are NEfigure8N. The buck should stop some where. David Bryan

Hello. And, one question. When will the books be posted? Not some of the books, or certain months, but ALL of the books. Thank you. David Bryan

So that's it, screw the demo guys........I think nefigure8n should NEVER host a demo again. It's clear you don't know how to put on a good demo. 18 cars (good for a nebraska demo) and the fair broad cuts the purse, saunders co. fair should be banned from having demos too!!!! It's a sad day when a group like this promotes "for the drivers by the drivers" and then they screw the drivers..........My brother and I will never return to a demo like this again. This demo is history, I will never talk good about it again........THE END Josh Turner Ran this demo three years stright, and the third time wasn't a chram it was a *ucking  |

i think for next year, they should do away with the derby and have a 2 day figure 8 race, similar to what brooklyn does. i don't if would work out, but it would be fun.
