God, demolition derbies were the fucking best. We had an old mud race track near where I lived where they had demolition derbies sometimes. Couldn't give a shit about the races, but I LOVED the demolition derbies as a kid.

Demolition derbies .... it's the closest our current era will ever get to gladiatorial combat ... the dirt, the oil soaked sand, the moaning death of a six cylinder engine, the cries of the driver, the smell, the food, the noise, the roar of the crowd - it must have been what the Flavian Amphitheatre felt like

The crowd chant of "KILL! KILL! KILL!" has been replaced by "CRUSH! CRUSH! CRUSH!"

The cheap and greasy food I must imagine as almost unchanged from ancient times XD

They really should format demolition derbies like a gladiatorial event ... have a Roman styled Emperor seated at a thrown with their entourage at the front to decide if a defeated car should be set fire to or not (with a thumbs or a thumbs down) ... as the crowd chants 'CRUSH! CRUSH! CRUSH!' ... then bring in a crushing machine to crush the burning inferno

I'd pay an extra 20$ for my ticket for that, tbh

Free entry if you arrive dressed in a toga and sandals and leading a Carthagian slave.
