Rules:

Note: These are different than the rules for the Fair Demolition Derby on August 28, 2025.

  1. All entrants must be 15 years of age. Minors who are 15-17 years old are permitted to
    participate, but must have a parent or guardian present to complete and sign a minor release form at the time of registration (Any Fair board decision regarding entrant’s age overrides this rule.) Parent or guardian must also attend the mandatory drivers meeting with minor driver.
  2. All drivers must register their vehicle and sign a liability waiver upon arrival. Registration will close an hour prior to derby time.
  3. Drivers may use their own car number. The driver who registers a number first will receive that number. If a driver registers a number that has already been taken, then that driver will be asked to change their number or add letters to the end.
  4. Cars will be inspected before the derby starts.
  5. All entrants must attend a MANDATORY driver meeting before competing.
  6. There will be a $50.00 protest fee before the derby starts.
  7. No intoxicating beverages or drugs will be allowed or tolerated.
  8. Unsportsmanlike conduct will be an automatic cause of disqualification.
  9. Drivers must wear a helmet which extends below the ears and drivers must wear safety belts.
  10. Drivers will have 60 seconds to make contact with another car before being disqualified.
  11. Intentional hits to the driver’s door will result in immediate disqualification.
  12. When a red flag is thrown for a fire, after the fire is extinguished, a driver may restart his/her car. The time that you had when the red flag was thrown will resume and the 60 second rule applies. If a red flag is thrown for the same car twice, that driver will be disqualified.
  13. If a driver proceeds to make contact with another car while the derby is under red flag, that driver will be disqualified.
  14. Demo Derby officials reserve the right to disqualify anyone who is unfit for competition or whose car does not comply with the rules. Rules will be enforced!
  15. Any personal derby vehicles left on the fairgrounds after 9am the morning following the event, shall become fair property unless requested otherwise in writing to the demolition derby chair.
  16. NO REFUND FOR NONCOMPLIANCE OF RULES!
