Are you going to have power wheels again

[nickn44]

Sorry no power wheels at this event. We will have them at all our fair shows,

[nickn44]

with both classes if you pass inspection on your 1st time you will get 10 sledge hammer shots of choice. A little reward for those that read and follow these rules!

[bepper]

I've derived for 30 years and have never seen a derby stopped because of some fluid leaking, and thon after the car is able to restart after a few minutes and the announcer said it was over then off they go and the guy that was said to have won didn't

[nickn44]

When a large amount of fluid is leaking from areas that could be the fuel line/tank you bet I will stop the derby and get the driver out to make sure it isn't fuel..sorry you don't agree with my decision but the safety of a driver comes 1st. period! Once we determined his heater core blew and why the fluid was everywhere yes he was allowed to continue. Could you imagine if that was fuel and I hadn't stopped it and a spark lit it? With 30 yrs of experience you should want a crew that respects of drivers safety!. It was a hell of a good derby for both classes with all cash paid so I wont allow our expert key board jocks ruin it!!! Results posted on actionautopromotions facebook page...thank you!

[bepper]

Ok I understand
I was wondering one other thing, how come it was such a small car count

[nickn44]

Car count was about perfect to fit within the time constraints of the show. Wasn't a typical derby, but rather a event at a show.

[bepper]

Got ya, thanks for clarifying it
