That is funny. Wonder where Holland, NY is. Going to have to check Google Maps. Maybe it is near me. I am thinking up north in the Tug Hill or farther up in the Watertown (should be call “Snowtown” area, though. Not near me. Or west towards Batavia and Buffalo. I think Batavia has a dirt track. Don’t think it is where I am. Never heard of it. Never saw it going south or south then east on our two routes we take to visit a daughter. But that does not mean it isn’t in those areas.

It has never been mentioned in our local news, and some pretty unknown towns and villages are mentioned periodically, especially when they have odd events like bathtub races, cardboad box races, etc. Never heard of this one mentioned.

Almost sounds like it would be around NY city. “Holland” tunnel. Or maybe near Amsterdam! LOL such an odd race. Hope those objects being towed and the trailers were no longer useful.

Oh, this might explain the little boat we see heading west on thw thruway on our way back from a city we go to. On a slope between the right side of the thruway and the left side of a rural parallel road there is an old beat up boat angled front end (I do not know boat terms) pointing down towards the thruway. It has been there almost three years. Beginning to look weather warn. We keep wondering how someone cam be towing a boat and not know it is no longer behind them. LOL I it is not on a trailer.

Thanks for the clip. 

Holland, NY. Out towards Buffalo. A tad southeast of it. Wonder if they do this in ice in the winter? I know, trucks with plows in the front towing snowmobiles. Maybe snowskiers being towed behind them. Oh, no! Don’t give these goofballs ideas. 

I really have to send this link to my son, needs a good laugh. I think this will do it.

speaking of demolision derbies, though. When I grew up we lived on the street the county fair was held at, but not right next door to it. They used to have a demolision derby the last night of the fair. It wss quite fun to watch, actually. County Fair is still held there.

There is a dirt race track there, still used. Every Saturday night we could sit outside and listen to it. Kind of liked it. They stopped for a few years after I married and moved, but started up again and have been dong it since.

They are fun to watch. Even back then, we had lady drivers in the demonderby right along with the guys. No special demo derby for ladies and one for men. Yes, ladies won, also.

I remember the first year I could go, my fav older brother took me.  I wanted cotton candy. He said it was not a good idea. He never denied me anything back then, so, I asked again. He reluctantly got me some. Cotton candy and the dirt in the air from a demo derby, not a good combination! He got a laugh out of it. Now, there was already a ootnof dirt in the air. The demo derby followed the main race at the fair. I don’t remember ever wanting cotton candy again. Might have, but I don’t remember ever wanting it. I was only 5 or 6 and it was a treat to stay up late with my fav older bro. He was 2nd of nine kids. I was #8 of the nine, so he was a bit older. 

It is funny the memories certain videos or pictures on things not having to do with you bring up. My favorite bro still spoils me, and my kids are his favorite nieces and nephew and my granddaughters are his favorite great nieces.

@GregW  Thank you for that video. My fav bro’s 75th birthday is in a few days.
