EVERGREEN SPEEDWAY 2011 DEMO DERBY RULES
Safety for spectators, officials, drivers, and crew is our first concern. Fire, flying debris, and impact injuries. Keep these thoughts in mind when you are stripping and building your vehicle.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
The Driver of each car represents to the Owner, Promoter and all others, that his car has satisfied all applicable rules, including but not limited to safety rules, whenever such Driver participates in any warm-up, practice, or competitive laps.
The Driver of each car is also completely responsible for all actions of Crew Members, Sponsors, or all else signed under their number.
If you have any complaints, disputes, problems, or questions, only the Driver and Crew Chief, Driver and Car Owner, or Driver and one representative from your team may approach an Official, in a civil manner, to resolve the situation. Any other Crew Members doing so could be placed on probation, fined, or suspended.
Although the Demo Derby class is designed to be an entry-level class, competitors are reminded they are racing before the paying public the same as the other classes.
All participants are expected to take pride in being part of Evergreen Speedway's Weekly program. Auto racing entertainment is what we have to offer and we will not tolerate the lack of professional attitude, conduct or appearance of car, Driver, Crew or others involved.
This is a STOCK CLASS of car and all parts or components deemed by the Technical Officials to be non-stock will be prohibited. Use of prohibited parts may result in fine, loss of that night’s points and/or disqualification to the Driver and/or Owner.
Any prohibited or illegal part found would become the property of Evergreen Speedway. The Evergreen Speedway officials will determine what is to become of the prohibited or illegal part once the entire race season has been completed.
All construction rules will be decided by Evergreen Speedway Technical Officials. Their decision will be final on all construction rules. Burden of proof on any concern will be the responsibility of the Driver and Car Owner.
These rules are a guideline. Contact the Evergreen Speedway Technical Officials for final approval of your racecar.
The Evergreen Speedway Demo Derby division is designed to promote greater interest in stockcar competition, and to enable those with moderate means to participate in the 2011 Evergreen Speedway season.
