The final night of the Tioga County Fair\u2019s demolition derby, on Aug. 9, was packed full of action, and welcomed a special guest to the track before the first heat. Jared Lamb, Special Olympian and Tioga Central student that traveled to Abu Dhabi to compete internationally, made his was to the fair to support his friend, Trevor Shedden, who designed his 6-cylinder 2000 Mercury Sable with a patriotic theme – and did so in honor of Jared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the hood of Shedden\u2019s demo car, painted lettering read, \u201cFirst Seattle and then Abu Dhabi – what\u2019s next?\u201d The rear of the car had an American flag hanging off of a post that was integrated in to the demo car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shedden, along with other classmates, friends, and fans of Jared Lamb, all greeted him when he arrived that Friday in the derby pits, and with his mom, Julie. Some of them were wearing Team Jared shirts as they surrounded the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Power Wheels, for the younger drivers, took place on the track for about a half an hour, and then an introduction of Team Jared and the car took to the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lamb, in the passengers seat and next to his friend Trevor, came into the arena and the announcer introduced Jared, giving a brief history of his Special Olympic journey. The fans in the grandstand roared, many standing to honor this hometown hero. Lamb\u2019s determination during the International Special Olympics in the spring was a shining example to all of the drivers that worked tirelessly throughout the year on their derby cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Trevor Shedden, he stated that he started working on the \u201cTeam Jared\u201d car about six months ago. Shedden was also running a second car that night, a 4-cylinder Hyundai Elantra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shedden is also a fourth-generation derby driver. He explained that his great grandfather, John Green, Sr.; his grandfather, John Green, Jr.; and John\u2019s son and Trevor\u2019s uncle, Jim Green were all drivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked why he designed the car to honor Jared, Trevor stated, \u201cTo let him know he has support. We\u2019re all very proud of him; having someone like him – it\u2019s pretty cool.\u201d The two grew up together in Tioga, and have been friends ever since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jared\u2019s mom, Julie Lamb, accompanied Jared to the derby that night to support him as well. According to Julie, it was Jared\u2019s first time at a demolition derby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there, Julie was overcome by the amount of support and love that Jared was receiving. \u201cIt\u2019s heartwarming to see how accepting the community is,\u201d said Julie, adding, \u201cHe\u2019s been all over doing things; these are his classmates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
