1. Yes, and only welding is to be done out in front of radiator support. 2. No 3. Yes 4. 4 spots on each, we will allow 4 spots of 9 wire from bumper to radiator support, not to the hood, same for the rear, 4 spots, not to the trunk 5. Pretty much any tire allowed, as long as it's not crazy. 6. Rollover bar is allowed, welded to the seat bar only. 7. NO mini vans 8. Yes 9. Only in floor pans, and in safety areas only (feet, gas tank, battery) 10. Most likely 1 and done, the track owners call, once we see the amount of entries Thanks for the quick answers. A few more just the clear things up. 1. Assuming the frame rails dont extend past the core support: is the bumper shock allowed to be bolted on at its end? and welded on at the front of the core support/frame. 2. I'll be fine with my v-tread tires and/or my skid steers? 3. if rear bumper rules are the same as front: meaning i can only weld the bumper to the very end of the frame? or only how far? 1. That's fine 2. Yes 3. Mount it without going overboard, it is a stock derby and if we feel it is overboard you will cut some of it, remember only 2 times through tech then it's on the trailer, so build it to the rules and save a bunch of disappointment.

paying Brent Clemens the $10,000 that is owed him from a few years ago might help the car count. New promoter or not its still the same owner isn't? guess that is what happens when you live more than 100 miles away. frame was cut, bumpers were checked, tires were slashed and no real explanation as to why he was thrown out. car was inspected before the derby given a stick. that car has been looked at numerous times by drivers and inspectors alike none of them could figure it out either. guess I wouldn't go either.

I also ran in that derby, I can't say why, because I wasn't a tech guy then, but they shouldn't have been allowed to run, cars were against the rules, I could see it walking by them, but doesn't explain why they passed tech and were given a stick, should've been sent home before getting a stick, everything was in plain sight. And if they didn't tell him why he was DQ'ed, they should have, probably because it was in plain sight, then they would have to try to explain why they let him run in the first place. It was a HUGE problem, we intend to inspect ALOT BETTER!! I guess all I can say is, those tech guys are gone and please give us a chance to show things will be different. If not, and you want to stay away I respect that, but please don't give me a hard time about it, as I said I was running that night also and had to stand around for what felt like forever before they finally said he was DQed.
