Demo Derbies of South Carolina by Danielle Levitt

"Demolition Derby is a big part of culture in South Carolina. A demolition derby consists of five or more drivers competing by deliberately ramming their vehicles into one another. It was beautiful to watch, so rhythmic and lyrical. I loved the light and colors of the scenes. I loved the way that the night looked after the air filled with smoke from crashing cars. We met a driver named Tadpole and his father Froggy. They live and breathe derby, they are local heroes and celebs. For them winning derby is just giving the fans what they want and need" -Danielle Levitt, for At Large Magazine. You can see more of this story here.
