Demolition Derbies Get a New Name
Demolition derbies have long drawn enormous crowds to local race tracks with racing fans packing the stands to see drivers smash into each other. The ‘King of the Hill’ race in Hudson, New Hampshire, takes things up a notch.
In the ‘King of the Hill’ event, drivers are chasing a moving trailer that is whipping around the oval track as fast as they’re driving. The object is to try and park a race car on the back of the moving trailer and they must do so by accelerating up onto the trailer as it continues to drive around the oval. Once on the trailer, the action does not stop.
While very different from a traditional Demolition Derby, they are spiritual cousins to be sure. The goal of a typical Demolition Derby is to be the last driver with a working vehicle.
King of the Hill Is a New Kind of Chaos
In the ‘King of the Hill’ race at Hudson Speedway in New Hampshire, just northeast of Nashua, the goal is to securely park on the trailer only the driver of the truck with the trailer is not on your side. In fact, once on the trailer there is still a great chance your car will roll off the side as the truck continues to speed around the track.

Also found at this track in NH was ‘Little Mania Midget Wrestling’ held back on July 31st. They described it as a “one of a kind show brings high energy action, over the top personalities, and nonstop excitement to the speedway for a night you won’t forget.”
Events Get More Extreme by the Week
I don’t know what the protocols are among race tracks and copying other’s events, but ‘King of the Hill’ needs to go nationwide. I am a stone’s throw from the Bradenton Motorsports Park and would LOVE to see this there some time.
