Stock & Compact Car Demolition Derby Rules

The following rules and/or regulations set forth herein are designed to provide for the orderly conduct of the Western Illinois Fair Demolition Derby's and to establish minimum acceptable requirements for such events. These regulations shall govern the condition of all events, and by participating in these events, all participants are deemed to have complied with these rules. No express or implied warranty of safety shall result from publication of or compliance with these rules and/regulations. They are intended as a guide for the conduct of the sport and are in no way a guarantee against injury or death to any participant, spectator, or official.

The Western Illinois Fair Demo Derby Officials shall be empowered to permit minor deviation from any of the specifications herein or impose any further restrictions that in their opinion do not lower the safety factor. Any interpretation or deviation of these rules is left to the discretion of the officials, and their decision is final. The Western Illinois Fair reserves the right to approve and/or reject all entries.

The Western Illinois Fair, event sponsors, and their agents of any sort are not responsible for accidents.

Contestants are herewith advised that Pike County Style demolition derbies are destructive derbies run to the last car in motion. We DO NOT have nor enforce rules prohibiting deliberate, destructive contact excepting those required for participant and spectator safety.

There will be $500 protest fee due from any contestant who wishes to protest another entrant's vehicle.

Protest must be made no later than 5-minutes after the heat in question.
Only drivers may protest.
IF a problem is found the fee is refundable.
IF nothing is found, half will go to the car protested, and half will go to The Western Illinois Fair.

These are the rules and they will be enforced!
Let's have fun; if your don't want to, stay at home.
Knock out the windows  and derby!


The intent of these rules is to allow for a safe demolition derby event in standard size un-modified vehicles. Modifications will only be allowed to provide for occupant safety, and to prevent bumpers, hoods and other large pieces of the car from falling off.

These rules dated 02/23/2010 supersede all other rules in existence.

See the Regular Demolition Derby Rules for general details except as noted below.
