A demolition derby at the Alameda County Fairgrounds Saturday benefited charities of the Hayward Firefighters.
PLEASANTON -- Hayward firefighters caused a multi-car pileup on Saturday but it was no accident and it was all for a good cause. It all went down at the Good Guys car show at the Alameda County Fairgrounds during a benefit fundraiser with a twist -- and a grind and a crunch.
First came the qualifying, with the 20-plus entrants trying to survive a figure-8 race where everyone soon meets in the middle, bumper-to-fender. This annual Pleasanton demolition derby is a fundraiser for the Hayward Firefighters Local 1909 charitable fund. "Nah, he's got this. It's gonna be great," she said. "I'm sure he can handle it. Yeah, we've got good insurance. It's all good!"
"I think that's kind of the thrill of it," he said, laughing. "Being on the other end of it is kind of fun."
