In the heart of a dusty California garage, we embarked on a wild journey with Steve Jahnsen, a seasoned GMC mechanic and the reigning 2013 CIOMA Destruction Derby Champion.

This project takes you deep into the world of demolition derby—a place where raw horsepower meets pure grit. Over months of preparation and relentless late nights, we followed Steve as he meticulously transformed a beaten-up frame into a roaring V8 monster. The car was a testament to years of engineering experience, mechanical ingenuity, and an undeniable love for the sport.

From salvaging the right parts to fine-tuning every inch of his custom creation, Steve’s dedication to defending his title in 2014 was unparalleled. We were there for every wrench turn, every test drive, and every moment of doubt, capturing the adrenaline-fueled highs and nail-biting lows of derby life. It’s a story about more than just competition—it’s about passion, sacrifice, and what it takes to build a machine capable of dominating the arena.

Join us as we document the blood, sweat, and gears of Steve’s journey to the track, and witness the final showdown where his mechanical beast takes center stage.
