so far so go 3 of 4 heats to the watson boys i know derrick aint a watson boy yet but he can bein the team heat...lol

yeah you notice he didnt have watsonboys on his car. he'll always be a team extreme a great demo derby driver but NOT A WATSONBOY. so technically croghan (team extreme) wins. watsonboys 0 twisted metal 0 team extreme 1. congrats derrick on your wins today and to all the other winners and to our lady fair champ, yeah you read a woman wins it all.

Derek said he was glad to run with the watson boy's. but did you notice he didn't win alone? it was a team effort of which he was a part of. Any way the real winners were the on lookers who got a great show. To bad it rained so long as the last several heats might have been better if the track wasn't so wet. The guy's and [girl] from both twisted metal and the watson boys did a good job, i am sure the spectators will be talking about it for quite a while especially the car on top of the other one. would be nice to see them go back to the old day's with just 8 cars. yeah when i first started running we had 8 in a heat. then 10 and now 12 because of the large numbers of cars they used to have. seems there are fewer cars these days would be nice to see 8 or 10 again

yeah for years vinnie ross has been called an original watsonboy and back in the day i guess he was, but for the past few years i don't see him with watsonboys on his cars and trucks,so hes not a watsonboy anymore? and as far as derek widrick you ask him he told me he was a watsonboy for one heat an it got down to him and a girl don't know her name but they were the last to running and her car said watsongirl on it. as i was told yesterday a few times that we the fans were lucky to see a team heat because the watsonboys did not have 6 drivers with out derek. i see all of these watsonboys #s on here i was at the fair and watched both shows i did not see a any watsonboys cars with a #80,#83,#91,#711 ? are these #s on here real watsonboys drivers ?

[WATSONBOY 10-23]

good job to all the drivers yesterday, and thank you to all the fans that stuck it out in the rain. As for vinnie ross yes he WAS one of the watsonboys from back in the 1970s

some of us are not able to run any more i demoed for 12 years and was raised in watson. i have won many best of shows and many derbys. as for vinnie he doesnt want to deal with the drama and the tarnished name that some of the 2nd generation boys have caused. like the bs on stage last year. think what you want he will always be a watson boy.

[Awesome]

The derby was awesome this year! I LOVED the team heat. I hope to see many more of them. As far as I am concerned, as long as these guys keep putting on a good show for us, it doesn't matter who is on whose team. And there is no bickering amounst players in public(like last year). You are all good at what you do. I loved the Humane Society heat as well. You go girls! The rain sucked though. THANKS FOR THE GREAT SHOW!

Whoever wrote this knows what they are talking about. Why can't more people see it like this? The team heat was meant for the fans enjoyment. Nothing more... nothing less. So my name is DEREK (get the spelling right) and I'm not a watson boy normally, but i was part of their team for one heat. I'm not a "team extreme" driver. There's no such team to my knowledge. I drive for me and I drive for the fans who spend their hard earned dollars to come watch us as drivers put on a good show. So with that being said, its obvious by the end of the night not everyone will be happy with the results because that's just how "sports" work. The bottom line is, a neptune blue car waved the checkered flag so that makes it a victory for The Watson Boys. And give credit to the twisted metal team for coming out and accepting the challenge. I think the crowd enjoyed it. Everyone was a good sport, We all shook hands and no one got hurt. To me those are all the ingredients to a good friendly rivalry and good Saturday night entertainment in lewis county. Demolition Derby is just for fun. So I'm gonna personally thank everyone who built and brought out a car last night to play. The feedback is great every year for this event. See you all next year.

well said. everyone who builds a car has spent countless hours in getting it ready to go out for 10 to 15 minutes of fun, and to hopefully put on a decent show for the fans.It's what keeps people coming back every year for. without the fans there would be no derby. i was on the track before the night derby and a couple women where asking some of the watson boys just what goes into building a car and how much it costs,and they were in awe as to the time and money spent. they had a whole different perspective of the derby itself after finding out these things if more people would take an interest in these things. there wouldn't be so much anomosity from people. another thing as far as i know i was the original watson boy . i put it on my first car in 1972. the next year Jack Albertson put it on his and it just grew from there. Vinny Ross didn't start running until a couple years after i did. but he is a part of the original crew. and after running the car i won the other night i might come out or retirement next year, who knows it was as much fun as i can remember.

just because your not out there doesnt cancel you as a watsonboy ive ran 5 times since we started back up in 2003 i was offerd a spot in the team heat this year you just come on some hard times and can't run but i did get to run in the raffle van they would let me put anything on the van no name no number nothing as for #80 he can't run anymore but he helps build cars #91 he runs every so often #711 is young yet not old enough to run yet. Vinnie was 1 of the original and the only still running so he is aloud to do what he wants he doesnt have to have it on there for you to know that he is. Your always a Watson Boy

The team heat was great last night.. it was a great show especially when the car went up on the roof of the stratus... that kid was crazy having it out there. but it was fun to watch.
