2008 Ramer Race Promotions
General Rules

 

To better serve our sport, its competitors and fans, we have created four sets of building rules (Old Iron, Fair Class, 1980 & Newer, and Mini Van). All rules have been written and will be enforced with safety as the number one priority. These rules will be used for different types of vehicles at different shows. The different vehicle classes are as follows:

-         Fair Class: Any year car, but no Imperials, Imperial framed cars or Hearses.

-         Trucks & Suburban type vehicles: ½ and ¾ ton allowed. NO 4x4!!

-         Compact Car: 104” wheel base or less, 4 cylinders, and front wheel drive.

-         1980’s & Newer Full Size Car: Must be of a metric body.

-         Old Iron: Any year car.

-         Compact Mini Vans: No mid-size or full size vehicles allowed (4x4 allowed but must remove front or rear drive shaft)

Not all classes will run at all events so be sure to check the schedule for the event(s) you are entering. All rules will be strictly enforced, so please call with any questions. When calling, please be prepared to offer what class, type, and make of vehicle you are preparing to build so we can better answer your questions. We want you to have a fun and safe time at all RRP events and we look forward to creating a new history for the sport of demolition derby in 2008 and beyond.
