Wheels of Justice vs. Duke City
At the Oaks Park Hangar Saturday, August 22nd
After eradicating all the dirty vehicles in Portland with their car-wash fundraiser in July, the Wheels of Justice decided they are going to use the funds raised to fight crime in San Francisco. On August 8th they hit the road, bringing justice to long time rivals B.ay A.rea D.erby Girls. These girls are naughty and this will be a battle you do not want to miss. However, if you cannot make the trip, you will still be able to catch Wheels of Justice at Derby Daze.
Join us on August 22nd, 6pm at Oaks Park Hangar to see WoJ vs. Duke City's Munecas Muertas in a WFTDA sanctioned bout. Duke City's Munecas Muertas are Albuquerque, New Mexico's All-Stars who are currently ranked 6th in the WFTDA Western Region. The Wheels of Justice (now ranked #3 in the region) hope to use this bout to keep on track with their goals of getting to and dominating WFTDA Regionals, Nationals and the World.
If you want to help Wheels of Justice get to the far off places they must go to for Regionals & Nationals, help them out by adopting-a-rollergirl. With your sponsorship we can all help them get to the tournaments in which they will fight for Rose City's honor. For more information on how, click here.
