2012 STOCK DEMO DERBY RULES
Our schedule and the official fair flyer will state whether event is any year, car, or ’78 newer. Any ’78 and newer event this year can run wagons as long as they are coil spring rear-ends. A leaf spring full size wagon can compete in the big car derby. All these rules apply for all derbies, except Florida rules.
New Rules
GENERAL RULES:
The general rules as well as the car rules are developed with driver’s safety as the number one concern. We do admit that demos are a dangerous sport and King of the Derbies Promotions assumes no liability in the result of injury from competing in this event.
1. These rules are developed with the cost of car construction in mind. The cars are to be constructed according to the rules. If certain items are not specified, it doesn’t mean it is legal. The judges’ decision will be final, so call before you do something that you don’t understand. The sport of demolition derbies has grown from a backyard fun activity, to a hardcore profession for some people. It is in our intent at King of the Derbies. Promotions to keep the playing field fair so that local people can still compete and have fun.
2. All cars must be on grounds one-hour before event to be inspected. Any cars arriving late will not be eligible to compete unless prior arrangements have been made. For derbies that require pre-registration, cars must be pre-entered by 5:00 pm by the day of the event. All cars must be removed by 12:00 noon the following day or they will become the property of the local salvage yard.
3. The driver must be at least 18 years old to drive at all fairs, unless the fair board allows younger drivers. You must be able to prove age upon request to drive, or have a notarized document signed by a parent or guardian stating that parents assume all risks. No one under the age of 16 will be able to compete at any fair unless approved by fair board.
4. 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 tow 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.
5. Any unsportsmanlike conduct by the driver or the crew will cause your car to be disqualified. The judge’s decision will be final.
6. No liquor or intoxicating beverages allowed in pit areaPossession of alcohol or drugs in pits will result in disqualification for your car.
7. Drivers meeting will be held before the event is to start, to explain rules and flags. Any car protest must be made at this time. All drivers must attend.
8. A driver that is disqualified in the heat race for sandbagging or an intentional door hit, will not be allowed to compete anymore that evening. Heat race time limits and sandbagging marks will be used.
9. The purpose of the derby is to provide entertainment for the spectators. Anyone not complying with the rules will be barred from the event.
10. It is mandatory for everyone entering into the pits to purchase a pit pass.
11. If a car is found illegal, no entries will be refunded. Cars should be brought legal. Not having a set of rules is not our fault. The fair board or promoter reserves the right to approve or reject any entries. Cars will be subject to inspection after the event.
12. The driver is the only person allowed around the car while their car is being inspected. Cars will be disqualified if rule is not followed.
