I have had calls about rules for compact and old iron. I am not much on this keyboard/computer stuff but here we go. First of all let me say we do not try to compete against other derbys, we just try to have our little old type derby because we feel if we start competing against each other it will just result in a horse race. OK here we go: Compact- cars can be 4 or 6 cylinders as long as the wheel base DOSE NOT exceed 104 (Irepeat) 104 inches. There will be no voting on letting longer wheel base cars in. Electric fuel pump allowed with visible shut off switch. All compact cars must abide with regular rules and regulations. #1 - All factory passenger cars will be allowed as long as not classified as a pickup or jeep. No convertibles, carryalls, Imperials, or 4 wheel drive. #2 - Entry fee- $25 for car and driver. Pit pass $15. Non refundabe entry fee due before inspection. #3- Upon passing inepection car placed in heat lane, No additional work on car without permission. #4-All glass, plastic ect. cleanly removed. All interior except drivers seat must be removed. #5-Cars MUST have at least THREE bars or chains Attached vertically to the center of the windshield area. #6-Saftey belt and helment used. Protective eye wear recommended. Shirt and jeans required, no cut offs. No one allowed to compete if we feel they are under ihe influence of alchol or drugs. Drivers must attend Drivers Meeting. #7-Origional fuel tanks removed.Tanks not exceeding 6 gallons mounted securely and covered with non faammable material. Electric fuel pump allowed with cut off switch beside drivers seat. #8- No more than two batteries secure and covered. #9- Track rules discussed at drivers meeting. #10-Decisions of the judges will be final AND if for tehe good of competion, the judges see fit to alter the program, they are free to do so at their discretion. #11- Questions? Allen: 785-448-7770. Gerry: 785-489-2430

OK Just talked to Allen, our head inspecter, and I quess things are real questionable about our new Hobo Class with no pre-run cars and stock cars that have been pre-run. We will add another class for pre-run STOCK cars with NO welding,or cars that are a little bit over built to our HOBO Class rules. Then we will put the top cars from each catorigy together for a feature of the two. We currently have $1500 to spend for these classes, however I have talked to the book keeper and she said if enough cars show up she will allow us at least another $500. So come on and bring your friends and see what we can do. Our inspecters will try thier best to get you into one class or the other. SAFTY is the big issue with them. Hope tp see you SAT. call Allen at 785-448-7770 or Bill at 785-229-6788.
