MOSES LAKE — When the dust cleared, the tires quit burning and the engines stopped roaring Seth Dompier was the last man standing during the grand finale demolition derby, kicking off the Moses Lake Roundup Wednesday night at the Grant County Fairgrounds.

Michael Koon finished second and Adam Roberson was third after the final melee.

Spencer Vela, who placed fourth at last year’s derby, entered this year’s action with a plan to employ the motor sport equivalent of “stick and move.”

“My strategy is just hit and then run, hit and then run,” he said. “Just try to not get hit, just try to survive.”

Vela likened the experience of racing around the arena in the midst of the destruction to skydiving.

“It’s an adrenaline rush,” he said.

The trophy dash and heat races led the night off, with Kevin Olson winning the lone dash. Tyler Dorsing had a successful night on the track with a win in the final heat race. Also, Dorsing shared first place with Sid White in the third Australian pursuit. Australian pursuit is when passed cars are eliminated until a lone racer is left.

It wasn’t all machismo with three powderpuff races. Moses Lake High School senior Megan Wilson finished third in the third heat.

“It was a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget,” she said. “My adrenaline just kept going and going.”
