One entire weekend full of tattoos, girls, and wheels. No, this isn't another car show.
The 2007 Women's Flat Track Roller Derby Association East Regional Tournament
was held in Columbus, Ohio, August 17th through the 19th. Twelve of the top
teams from the east half of the country came head to head in some of the most
grueling bouts to date. With several upsets, and many surprising twists, Gotham Girls
Roller Derby took home the number one spot, followed by the Windy City Rollers, the
Carolina Rollergirls, and the Detroit Derby Girls. It was an exciting weekend, and
another proving point that this sport isn’t for the weak at heart. Fans came from all over
to cheer on their favorite teams, and people of all ages sat in awe of every twenty minute
period as havoc was reaped on the Heartland.
