General Rules for ALL Classes

  • These rules are developed with the cost of car construction in mind. The cars are to be constructed according to the rules. The judge's decision will be final, so call before you do something that you don't understand. 

  • Any cars arriving late will not be eligible to compete unless prior arrangements have been made. All cars must be removed immediately after the show or they will become the property of the local salvage yard. 

  • Approved racing helmets must be worn at all times. Goggles or a face shield, fire suit or long sleeve shirt must be worn. Long pants and closed toe shoes are mandatory. No shorts allowed. If a driver removes his/her helmet while the event is taking place they will forfeit all winnings and be disqualified for the night. Drivers’ safety is a top priority!

  • You must be 18 years old to compete with a valid driver’s license or valid ISSUED I.D. card from the state of your residence or have notarized parental consent.

  • NO DRIVERS WILL BE ALLOWED TO BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR ILLEGAL DRUGS AND PARTICIPATE IN THE DERBY.

  • Entry fee is non-refundable if your car does not pass inspection.

  • ONLY THE DRIVER THAT REGISTERS THE CAR IS ALLOWED IN INSPECTION LINE!! 

  • All drivers must attend drivers meeting before show starts.

  • While you are competing in the arena do not get out of your vehicle unless you are told to do so by an official.

  • NO PIT CREWS, FAMILY MEMBERS, or FRIENDS ALLOWED ON THE TRACK AT ANYTIME. This will result in disqualification and forfeit of any prize money.

  • All cars will have a working seat belt for the driver’s seat and the driver must wear it during the event.

  • NO DRIVER’S DOOR HITS: We all know that accidents do happen. If a driver’s door hit looks intentional you will get disqualified.

  • Sandbagging: It is up to the drivers that are competing, not the officials to take out the other cars that are grocery shopping. Remember the 1 minute combat rule. 1 minute re-starts.

  • FIRES: Depending on what type of fire it is, you will be out of the derby heat, 1 fire in the heat.

  • (it all depends on what type it is)

  • OFFICIALS DECISIONS ARE FINAL: NO UNSPORTSMAN LIKE CONDUCT WILL BE TOLORATED.

  • Cars will operate in a safe manner during the heat and feature events. If a derby car appears to be at risk of injury to the driver, spectators, or officials you may be disqualified. (ex: doors torn off exposing driver)

  • INSPECTION will occur before your car runs in its assigned heat. It will be subject to re-inspection at any time until feature is over. Once the winner has been declared it is over with no re-inspection.
