23.   Any use of Wire, chain or similar fastening material shall not be excessive.
24.   Body mounts must remain in a stock manner, with the exception of the back two body mounts in the trunk, and the front two body mounts that go thru the core support. The back bolts may be no larger than 3/4" in diameter and must be placed in the car the same way they came out (Do not extend bolts through the bottom of the frame). The front two body mounts at the core support may be replaced with 3/4" all thread, and may be run up thru the hood. These four body mounts must have a spacer at least 1" and no more the 3" tall. These spacers can be any material, but a metal spacer cannot be welded. Washers used for these four body mounts ONLY may be no more then ¼ inch thick and 4"x 4".

If you run the down bars they must be VERTICAL, and cannot tie into the body mounts. You may also run a rollover bar constructed of two down bars and one cross bar. The down bars must be VERTICAL, and cannot be located more than 6" behind the driver's seat. These down bars may be welded to the topside of the frame only. If you tie the roll over bar into you cage these bars will count as your cage’s rear down bars, the front bars must still go to sheet metal only. The cross bar must be horizontal and may either be on the inside or outside of the roof. There must be a small gap between the cross bar and the roof, with the exception of two attachment points where a bolt no more 7/16ths in size may be used to connect the roof sheet metal to the roll over bar. The cage must be built for safety and not for reinforcement. 
26.   A driver's door protective plate is required unless you have welded the driver's door shut AND you have also installed a 4-point cage. Even if you have welded the door and installed a cage, the doorplate is still encouraged. The driver's door protective plate is to be located on the outside of the driver's door only. The doorplate must be a minimum of 6" wide and 1/4" thick, and must extend at least 3 inches but not more than 6 inches past each door seam.

No altering rear cradle for rear end. Gear ratio must be no different then stock factory ratio. NO REAR END BRACES. Motor mounts must operate independently and must be similar to stock. Motor mounts may not "reinforce" in any way. Motor mounts may be chained or welded down, but can only attach straight down to the engine cradle. In such case, the chains or welding must do nothing more then hold the motor down and may not in any way be reinforcement or act as a skid plate. NO DISTRIBUTOR PROTECTORS. NO MID OR SKID PLATES.
28.   Frame: No welding, plating, loading, pinning, capping, boxing C-channel, or altering the frame in anyway except what is specifically authorized in the rules. If any part of the car's frame seams have been welded it will not run. Any "hump plates" will have to be completely removed, No slicing or partial removal will be approved. Frame may be notched, but notch may NOT be pulled back together and re-welded. No re-welding front tabs on 80's and up fords (if you don't understand, ask ahead of derby day). You can re-stub a pre-run by butt-welding the new section on. You will be allowed up to 4 patches to fix frame damage or rust, these patches must be no bigger then 4" x 6" x ¼" thick. Damage or rust must be visible to the inspector (frames will be scoped with a camera). You may only use one patch per damaged area; patches may not be welded together or connected in any way.

This event is designed to be fun for the drivers and their fans, but is primarily a SHOW for the entertainment of the crowd.   The officials are unpaid volunteers.   They make mistakes, but they do their best; and generally two officials are required to agree on any "judgment" call before it is made.   Therefore, the driver, pit crew, family and friends are strongly discouraged from questioning any "judgment" call (such as door hits, time periods between hits, whether a hit qualifies as an "aggressive hit" or not, etc.).   DO NOT TALK TO OR DISTRACT ANY OF THE OFFICIALS DURING THE EVENT.   If you want an explanation of any decision, the HEAD FLAGMAN will be happy to calmly discuss the decision with you BETWEEN HEATS ONLY!! 

ANY AGGRESSIVE ACTION TOWARDS AN OFFICIAL, A FLAGMAN, OR A FAIR EMPLOYEE BY A DRIVER, THEIR PIT CREW OR FANS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.  Violators WILL be disqualified from the event, may be suspended from future events and/or permanently banned.
