One winner from each division (Stock
and Super Stock) will get to partake in a designated weekend of fun
in nearby St.Louis, Missouri. As we evaluate the many opportunities
St.Louis provides, we are concentrating on developing a weekend to
include St.Louis Cardinal Baseball, Six Flags, the St.Louis Zoo and
more.
For 2011, we are evaluating if or how
many car building clinics will be held. Car building clinics
allow participants to ask questions about building a racer and
see a display of a racer for assistance. The construction clinics
generally offer you a wealth of assistance as you have a lot of fun
building your racer! Immediate questions can always be sent to
us.
Some of the major objectives for the
committee and racers include: Having fun and being safe. To ensure
and uphold the utmost level of fairness and fun in the derby race,
we will constantly monitor race vehicles to ensure adherence to the
rules set with the car kit supplier. Race officials will continue to
strongly monitor and evaluate each racer prior to and throughout
each heat to ensure the wheel assembly and the wheels' existence are
in compliance with the car kit rules. The above mentioned conditions
and intentions are all subject to transform based on the number of
race participants we receive.
With regards to safety, please pay
very close attention to and assemble your car in accordance with
your respective design's specifications. This is for the racer's
safety. Also, any racer not within specification runs the risk of
forfeiting their opportunity to enjoy a weekend in St.Louis should
they win in our local race.
This year's registration fee is
$60.00. The registration fee funds will go directly to support the
cost of our local derby event. |
