​Thousands turn out for Demolition Derby in Lucknow
Thousands of people gathered at Graceland in Lucknow, Friday night, for the second annual Demolition Derby, organized by the Lucknow and District Kinsmen Club. It was part of an event-filled weekend which included Saturday’s Dungannon Super Pull.

The Demolition Derby featured lawn tractors, cars and combines, as well as Figure 8 races.

Among the various competitions, there were eight lawn tractors, nine combines, 11 vehicles in the V8 class, and eight in the stock truck class, along with 27 cars in the Figure 8 races.

It was an evening of crashing and banging, and plenty of noise and dirt flying, as the competitors put on a great show.

A huge crowd turned out for Saturday's major tractor pull, also held at Graceland.
