New for 2010 IN CAPS
These are not suggestions, nor is this a menu. This is what is allowed as far as preparation of the car. Please do not try to read anything more into these rules.“THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO TO PREPARE YOUR CAR.”
GENERAL RULES: OLD IRON, 80 AND NEWER, COMPACT
NO BLACK CARS, all cars must be painted and only last year's Champ can run black. You will not even be allowed in the inspection line if you have not painted your car! This is a premier event and we expect your cars to look sharp.
No fuel tanks larger than 10 GAL.
Distributor protectors allowed, must be attached to engine or transmission only, backside must be no wider than 12 inches, must not contact cage before, during or after the event. If you run a DP do not mount your dash bar closer than 5 inches from middle of firewall. It may not be welded, bolted or connected to body, hood or frame. Foward supports must be inside normally positioned headers and not extend past the water pump. Call ahead!
Sedans only, are allowed a gas tank protector, no wider than 24 inches, may rest against back seat panel but may not be attached. May NOT run straight back to frame humps, must angle in from back seat pipe. IT MAY RUN STRAIGHT BACK, BUT ONLY IN THE CENTER OF THE CAR.
All vehicles must have a roof sign, Minimum 15" x 15", Maximum 24" x 24", contrasting colors. These may not be positioned in such a way as to strengthen the car. Officials decision is final.
No Imperials, any year, Imperial subframes, Ambulances, Hearses or limousines allowed.
No re-stubbing of frames.
All bodies must be mounted on stock OEM frames for that YEAR AND MAKE OF CAR.
Small Car wheelbase is 108" maximum, 6 cylinder maximum.
No painting, undercoating oiling or greasing of frames. You will not be inspected, you will be loaded.
Driver must wear helmet, seat belt and eye protection at all times.
All vehicles must have a fire extinguisher mounted within the drivers reach, inside the car.
All Drivers and Crew members must attend the drivers meeting.
All Drivers must pick up trophy’s and earnings at the completion of the event, or forfeit. They will not be available after that date.
COMPETITION RULES:
Drivers must remain in the vehicle with helmet, seatbelt and eye protection on until notified by an official that it is safe to exit the vehicle.
Drivers door hits are illegal. If the hit is deemed by the official to be careless or intentional, you will be disqualified. If you use your drivers door as a defense, we will not enforce the rules. If you use the door defense repeatedly you will be disqualified.
No hot rodding in the pits. Keep it at an idle.
Any open door or fire in the heat will cause disqualification. If there is a consolation heat, you may return in that heat. In the feature, you will be disqualified.
Sandbagging is not tolerated and will be strictly enforced. Locking up the brakes prior to a hit for anything other than a drivers door will be a cause for disqualification. The fans pay to see a show, put one on for them!
You must make AGGRESSIVE HIT every 60 seconds. You will not be given any warnings, you will just be timed out.
You will be given ample time for restarts. We do not use the clock exclusively. We try to work with you if you are hung up. Hitters get more time than sandbaggers.
THIS IS NOT A TEAM EVENT, TEAM DRIVING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. THIS IS YOUR WARNING.
THERE IS NO ALCOHOL IN THE PITS. This includes pit crews. If you or ANY of your crew is caught with alcohol, you will be disqualified.
Any questions or controversies will be discussed at the drivers meeting.
All cars are subject to a post race inspection before any prize money is awarded.
You must be a driver to protest, the fee is $100 and you must have cash in hand. This protest must take place immediately at the conclusion of the feature event. The protesting driver must have competed in the same class as the driver he is protesting.

Yes, Leaf class is the same just add pitching allowed, since the regular 80's class allows it.
The only changes is a 22 by 1/4 inch contoured Hump plates(not across the hump) allowed the if you DON'T convert to leafs,

Are we allowed to suck the unibody to the K member on 80's chrysler products this year on the front and rear mounts?? The only thing i saw was that we are allowed to run all-thread behind the radiator support....... I truely believe to have a diverse type of cars on the track 80's full size unibody cars must suck the frame to the k-member to be remotely competetive with pitched fords...in my humble opinion Tory.....

Dave is on the road so I will answer these after conversing with him on it.
You may remove the rubber and suck the K member tight. Do not weld.

There are three methods to pitch , cold, at the flap, and at the crossmember. So yes a GM can pitch at the cross member and then weld a 5 inch piece of angle iron to mount your trans crossmember.

I have edited my earlier post, only change to leaf rules(besides the main rule changes, pitching etc..) will be if you do not convert to leafs you may add a hump plate instead. See www.DerbyIcons.com for more clarification.

I ran a hump plated '89 towncar against leafed cars. It held up. I like the pitching and hump plates.

Good job with the rules. I think a couple of the grey areas from last year were cleared up, and the changes that were made are good ones IMO.
