Franklin, Wis., September 1 – The Labor Day Demolition Derby tradition 
continued at the Hales Corners Speedway where Steve Huebner and Jessie Hwilka 
blasted their way through over 150 other destruction minded competitors to take the

    The derby started off with the popular rollover contest which saw Terry 
Gatzow score three points and take the win over Mary Lyman and Chris Schmidt 
who tied for second with two points easch.

    Due to the large number of vehicles entered, heat derby's were run on 
both the east end of the speedway as well as the west end throughout the day.  
Heat winners on the east end were Jim "Flipper" Gatzow, Tony "The Tiger" Bieyzk, 
Tony "The Curd" Kunkel, Joe "Flatfoot" Schumann, and Josh "Tinker Bell"

class.

    Upon completion of the heat events, all remaining car or vehicles that 
ran entered the final two features.  Hwilka overcame over thirty other vehicles 
in the small car class, and Huebner pounded his way through about 38 cars in 
the heavyweight class.
