The rules and regulations for this event have been set for the following reasons:

    1. To allow the rookie or novice demo driver have as much chance to win as the experienced driver.
    2. To make this fun sport affordable to everyone. The rules are also set to save on expensive parts, set up time and miles of welding wire.

So let’s have fun. It’s up to you and your crew if this derby is going to grow!
