Inspection and Registration

Each car must pass a technical inspection before it may compete. Technical inspection and registration of cars occurs at check-in, either the morning of the race or the night before if you have chosen the camping option.

Note: The Race Starter will place the car on the track according to axle location. The back axle is nearest to the end of the car. The front axle is furthest away from the end of the car. This determines the direction the car will race unless the contestant clearly marks "Front" on the car.

b) The Inspection Committee shall disqualify cars that do not meet the rules and specifications. If a car does not pass inspection, the owner will be informed of the reason his car did not pass (too long, too heavy, altered wheel base, or the like). Cars which fail the initial inspection may be modified for final inspection and registration. A fifteen minute grace period will be allotted for cars not passing inspection.

c) To enter the race, cars must have passed inspection and be registered by the Final Inspection Deadline .

d) No cars may be altered in any way after it has been registered. Damage repair shall be allowed during the Derby only if it does not delay the race, but no modifications shall be allowed.

e) After passing inspection, the car will remain in the custody of the race officials. No car shall be re-inspected unless repaired after damage in handling or in a race.

f) Unbecoming or unsportsmanlike conduct by any participant or spectator will be grounds for expulsion from the competition and/or the race area.
