Angels Camp, CA…Get ready to watch the mud fly and see metal crunch at Moondog’s Moon Bash Demolition Derby September 30th at the Calaveras County Fairgrounds in Angels Camp.
“This is going to be hard-hitting action the whole family will love,” said Jeremy Leonard, owner of Whiskey Slide Productions, LLC, in Angels Camp. Leonard has teamed up with Guy “Moon” Mullins of Moondog Motorsports out of Modesto to bring the night of entertainment to the Gold Country. Mullins produces the ever-popular destruction derby at the Calaveras County Fair every May. Fans will recognize his signature heats. Drivers from throughout the West Coast, and some local favorites, are expected.

Slightly calmer action will open with a Power Wheels Derby for children. Little battery-powered cars will have balloons attached to front and back bumpers. The last driver to protect their balloon wins. “It’s pretty cute and funny,” said Leonard.

Tickets are now on sale at www.whiskeyslideproductions.com for $12 each. Kids five and under are FREE. Parking is an additional $5 charge. No outside food, beverages, coolers or pop-up tents will be allowed on the fairgrounds. Low back chairs and blankets are encouraged. Gates open at 3:30 p.m. with opening horn sounding at 5:00. Food and beverages will be offered for sale. Drivers may enter qualifying cars by contacting Mullins at (209) 566-4280. Bash Style Rules can be found at www.moondogmotorsports.com.
