Demolition Derby Rules

 

New England Championship Demolition Derby
Woodbooger Demolition Derby

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.
    3. By following these rules at the end of the derby most of these cars will be ruined.
