Demolition Derby to return to fair in August

AUGUSTA — The Demolition Derby is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 3 and Monday, Aug. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at the New Jersey State Fair at the fairgrounds in Augusta.

The event will go off rain or shine. The cars will crash in the dry summer sunset or in the mud and rain.

The New Jersey State Fair Demolition Derby draws more than 100 cars and drivers from Sussex county as well as neighboring counties, and pit five or more drivers against each other on the dirt track in a grown-up, dangerous game of bumper cars. The last car standing is the winner, and in the meantime, the audience gets to enjoy the smashing, crashing, and sometimes flipping of cars. Each year brings back many talented drivers from the previous years, so be sure to check for your favorites.

Tickets are $13 for reserve seating and $11 for general admission, and are in addition to required Fair admission. Tickets are on sale until they are sold out, and may be purchased during the day at The Fair.
