Still runs drives if I replaced broken axle but the gas tank was pinned between the floorboard and bar so I figured it was time to start over

no everything around me has went stock only allowing one bar and no welding. So I used 5"casing for a seat bar and put 20" plates on end with bolts thru both doors and center pillar to hold it in and still had to argue at almost every show.

Had a great motor and trans in it so had to go again haha

Yeah it sucks but the one good thing is although the rules have got worse the pay has got better most pay $2000 or more to win and there will be 30+ cars there so I'm just trying to adjust. I've got a very well built carbed lumina that I can't even run without a long haul away from here now.

Props for adjusting with the sport in your area and continuing to derby rather than calling it quits.

Perfect example of why promoters who don't allow anything more than a seat bar suck. We have one by us that won't allow door bars because it makes it harder to get injured people out of the car☹️

We have one by us that won't allow door bars because it makes it harder to get injured people out of the car☹️ Even harder when there is a car wrapped around the injured driver, or when the car is lit up like a Christmas tree over a ruptured fuel cell, or worse yet, a tank under the damn car. When it really comes down to breaking out the jaws to cut open a car (yes I've seen it happen), pillars and door frames pinch in half just fine. I call BS on those promoters.
