How many entrants have there been for each size class so far? Might go and throw in a 2nd entrant to pad out another class if theres not many in one of them

where though? sorry im new.

Im going to have to count, most entries are compact or mid so far though.

Alright. Might throw in a large class one from an old car I’ve got lying around.

For the compact class, presenting Sgt. Smash.

Beginning life as an officer taxi on an army base, this little sedan racked up 200 thousand miles before being stripped down and reinforced for duty in the fairgrounds.




In the midsize class, we have Viking Funeral.

Once an entry level executive car from a Swedish company, it’s lived a hard life and is being given a proper warrior’s death.



And in the fullsize derby class, there’s Jester’s Folly.

Once a personal luxury coupe from the 60’s, it has now become a menace in the mud ring.

Also here’s a quick look at our field so far.

Up first are the compacts. Where the theme seems to be yellow…


Next up, the mid-sized, where the majority is red, with bits of blue.

Last but certainly not least (especially in fixture count) the full-sized

I am excited to see what other crazy creations you guys come up with!

Hell if you want i can just send in more cars just to fill the ranks for fun if you plan on doing something on beam in terms of a stream or video (ive been on a bit of a derby kick lately due to this event) although im only concerned with my current three in terms of the official event

Also if anyone wants em heres the files to all three of my entries

2004 Sunavic Alden “The Underkill” - Midsize

Not a whole lot of lore here, but this car has lived a hard life. After 280,000 miles, it’s this thing’s time to go. And how better to go than dying a warrior’s death at the fairgrounds?

This was a nice car at some point. (Anachronistic license plate but oh well.)

Alright, since there are not as many submissions, I will be allowing multiple submissions. HOWEVER, each person can only have one placing car.

For example, if a person gets first place with one car and third place with another in the same catagory, they will automatically forfeit third place. The next non placing car will take that place.

If there are any questions feel free to ask!

The beautiful Dragon Almond was “rescued” from the side of the interstate and with a little saw dust and a filter change we’ve got the transmission to pull again, and just in time to make the Derby!

FOR THE FULLSIZE CLASS: 1948 ARVA P20 NACHALNYK


Watch out! There is an Archanan tank out on the track and it is out to get you. Well, not the whole truth either. To conform with the rules, the shaking and rattling inline 4 was thrown out in favour for…just at 350 Chevy (to get it running and to have a cheap and reliable unit that conforms to the rules) with a TH350 automatic behind it. Unnecessary stuff was thrown at the dump, reinforcements added where they were needed. Now, it’s time to crash I guess.
