One Derby girl knows this all too well.
Star Giles, a Derby girl based in Utah, shared that she’s ready for the race season in a video with over 13,000 TikTok followers.
“It’s time to smell like fuel, fling some dirt, twist some metal, and hurt some feelings,” she said as she filmed someone driving, arms lined with tattoos.
Star has been waiting a long time for this time of year and named some of the parts of the season that she’s missed.
“When derby season finally starts and I can finally hear the rev of the engine again and lost all my brand new 10mm sockets,” she joked.
“It is what it is at this point, I mean, amiright?” she asked, adding the hashtags #demolitionderby.
Enthusiastic race fans took to the comments to share their thoughts.
“I can’t wait I can finally have my little mini beside me,” agreed one viewer.
“RIP to all the lost 10mm sockets out there,” said another.
“It’s awesome seeing Derby getting in on trends!” said a third.
Some people were getting antsy waiting for their season to start.
“You’re lucky I still have 2 months,” whined one impatient fan.
“Woof! Close!!” Star encouraged.
