2:00 PM Print & Mail Derby Entry Form The rules and regulations for this event have been set for the following reasons: - To allow the rookie or novice demo driver have as much chance to win as the experienced driver.
- 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.
- By following these rules at the end of the derby most of these cars will be ruined.
This event is to find the best Demolition Derby Driver in the North East. This is not a competition to see who can build the toughest car. This is a stock derby unless it is listed in our rules; otherwise the answer is no you can’t do it. Please read the rules carefully due to changes. Derby Pit Gate opens at 10:00 AM. 6-8 CYLINDER CARS This Derby will consist of heats of 6-8 cylinder cars. All heat races will qualify 4 drivers for the feature. The last 3 cars moving and running will receive a trophy. The fourth place car will be the “Lucky Dog” and be eligible to compete in the feature. This is subject to change the day of the event. All feature cars will be quarantined until the last car in the last heat is removed from the track. This way every driver has the same amount of time to work on his or her feature car.
