The Ramp Demolition Derby fires up tonight at Stratford Speedway with 26 cars and bonus prizes for maximum destruction.

The engines are finally firing up at Stratford Speedway tonight after a Boxing Day postponement, featuring a Ramp Demolition Derby with 26 cars in the line-up. Additional "stirrer prizes" will encourage drivers to inflict maximum damage rather than playing it safe.

Gates open at 3pm with the first race scheduled for an earlier family-friendly start time of 5pm. It’s looking like a clear night for anyone wanting to catch the action.
