| 2009 |
The 2009 demolition derby season is fast approaching. At the time
this booklet went to the printers, we have two (2) derbies scheduled
for the 2009 season.
Each demolition derby listed within this booklet will be governed
by it's own specific rules and regulations. In addition to their
own specific rules and regulations, all of these derbies will
also be governed by the BLF Productions rules and regulations.
You may receive additional mailings about other derbies put on by BLF PRODUCTIONS, LLC when, and if the details are worked out on these other derbies. You will receive additional information pertaining to them, in the form of a flier, entry form, and a short letter about the purse and any rule change or addition, but this booklet will be mailed out only once a year due to the high cost of postage. In the center of this booklet, you will find an entry form for each demolition derby listed within these pages. All information contained within this book is also available on the Internet at our Web site www.kci.net/~blf and our E-mail address is blf@kci.net.
This set of rules has been developed over the past 31 years. They are designed to outline the basic minimum you have to do to a car and limit the maximum changes you can make to a car. Safety is our first concern and some of the rules added over the years, were added due to safety. Others were added because a driver or car builder took a loophole and, or a gray area and went to far. Individuality and imagination are all a part of building a car, but please keep your imagination within this set of rules. These rules are designed to make the competition even and non-discriminative.
There are four basic parts to demolition derby participation. The first is the type car used. Some cars are more suitable for demo derbies than others. The deciding factors to a car are usually availability, driver's preference and economics. Second there is the preparation. If one driver or builder chooses to do less to his car than the next guy, then it could come down to preparation. (BLF Productions LLC. demolition derbies are welded derbies, therefore if you bring a limited welded car or a car that is not welded to a BLF Productions demolition derby, please do not come complaining to the officials about the fact that you brought a knife to a gunfight.) Third, there is the driver. If two cars of the same type and model are built almost identically the same, and they both are within the rules, it will, quite possibly, come down to the driver. Last but not least is the luck factor; there is always a little luck involved in a successful demolition derby event. Therefore we at BLF PRODUCTIONS, LLC wish you all, the best of luck, in the up coming 2009 demolition derby season.
Although, the idea of using BLF PRODUCTIONS, LLC, RULES AND
REGULATIONS, as a
means of simplifying and trying to use a standard set of rules,
(unless BLF Productions, LLC is actually staging the derby), the
interpretation of some portions and aspects of the 2009 BLF PRODUCTIONS,
LLC, RULES AND REGULATIONS may vary from one derby to the next.
If you should inquire about a derby being staged somewhere, and
you're told that they will be using BLF rules for that specific
derby, then please ask who is staging and promoting that derby.
If the answer is someone other than BLF Productions, LLC or the
judges that BLF Productions, LLC uses, then they are not running
BLF Productions, LLC, RULES & REGULATIONS!
