Good morning!
Car inspection will begin at 1:30 pm at 1 Bonanza RD!

For those participating in the parade, please note the following information:

All entrants need to come to the parade assembly area between 9:00–10:00 AM to receive an entry number and staging map. The registration area will be located at the Hawthorne Utilities office parking lot at the corner of 4th and E Street.

Parade entries must be lined up in their designated spot by 11:00 AM. You do not need to bring your entry to the assembly area.

Demo Derby cars are entered and lined up at spaces 73, 74, 75, 76, and so on.

🚧💥 Derby Update… AGAIN to the Stockcar track at 1 Bonanza Rd💥🚧

Okay okay… we know. At this point the Demo Derby location has moved around more than the derby cars themselves 😅

But in all seriousness, we’ve made another location change to help keep things as SAFE as possible for both our spectators and drivers. Safety always comes first — even if it means keeping everyone on their toes a little longer!

We truly apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate everyone rolling with the punches (and not the bumpers 😉).

We’re also incredibly happy to be teaming up with so many amazing local groups and volunteers to help make this event happen safely and successfully. A huge thank you to our local volunteers, Hawthorne Utilities, Tony and Jerrie Tipton, Mineral County Building Department, A&C Waste, Mineral County Fire Department, Mineral County Public Works, Mineral County Search and Rescue, and the Mineral County Sheriff’s Office for all of their support and hard work!

Thank you all for your patience, support, and excitement. We promise the crashes, chaos, and fun will be worth it! 🏁🔥

If you have any questions, please give us a call at (775) 316-2188.
