12. Officials and tech inspectors have final decision in all rules. If your car is flagged after inspection, your car is still open to inspection any time before, during, or after the derby. 13. Just because it is not listed in these rules, doesn’t make it legal! Anything determined to be unsafe, reinforcement, or creates an unfair advantage WILL be considered illegal. 14.

You will not operate vehicle over the speed of a fast walk in the pit area or anywhere on the fairgrounds, other than inside the perimeter of the derby arena.
