The fuel line needs to be secured to tank and inside of car. You also need to cut or poke a hole in floor beneath or around fuel tank to let fuel dump out, in case tank becomes punctured. This will be inspected closely.

6. Doors, hood, and trunk must be wired, chained, bolted, or welded shut. If hood and trunk are welded shut, there must be a large enough hole for inspection.

7. Deck lids on station wagons need to either be removed or able to open. Do not weld these down.

Do not extend plates more than 4” past where it was broke. If you are unsure, CALL!! Do not plate and try and get away with it. Do not paint or undercoat frame anywhere. If there is any slag or welding wire seen inside of frame we will consider that as welding inside frame. Frames are subject to be drilled!!

12. Body seams may be welded solid. Do not double body panels. You may cut fender wells for clearance. Rear fenders may be cut and folded. You may weld or bolt these back together.

13. Bumper shocks may be welded solid. Bumper mounts may be welded or chained to frame. Bumpers may interchange. A-arms and ball joints remain stock. Trailing arms on rear end may be shortened and strengthened as long as it doesn’t reinforce frame.

Bar or wire coming from top of windshield to hood strongly advised.

18. If there is any question’s at all about preparation of car, Call!!

19. Judges and inspectors decisions are final!!

 

Event Rules 

1. There will be no sandbagging. If you’re not coming to hit and put on a show, then don’t come. That is the easiest and simplest way to put it. The crowd doesn’t like it and neither do the judges.

2. No teaming allowed!! If you are holding a person for your buddy and they don’t make a partial aggressive hit on both of you then you will be warned. The next time your both gone. If it comes down to two cars that run together (it’s easy to tell-we will know) you better hit. If both cars are able to make aggressive hits and don’t, don’t be surprised when the officials stop the derby and award the money and prizes to 3rd and 4th place vehicles. All you have to do is hit.

3. If there are any questions or complaints about any car you need to make an official aware before the drivers meeting. Then it will be discussed at the meeting. If cars need to be re-inspected, they will.

4. No hot dogging or riding on cars anywhere on fairgrounds.

5. If your car is out of the heat of action, stay in car and leave helmet on. If there is a red flag, we will let you out of your car.

6. There will be no changing of drivers in cars. If you drove the car in the heat, then you will drive the rest of the derby, unless, injured or circumstances beyond your control.

7. No equipment of the fairgrounds will be used to straighten or anyway help a car. We will gladly help load all vehicles after the conclusion of event.

8. If your car stalls, you will have 1 minute to get it started. Then you will have 30 seconds to hit another vehicle. If the derby comes down between 2 cars and they get hung up, we will stop the derby and pull you apart.

9. One fire, we will distinguish. Two fires, your out.

10. Rollovers. If your car is rolled, we will turn the car back over. Officials will have the final decision if you can continue or not.

11. Anyone who has complaints needs to pull an official aside and talk to him/her respectively. Do not yell or curse at officials while they are doing their jobs.

12. If there are any questions or comments call!!
