A Saturn will be fun.
I ran a couple small car derbies a few years back when they had the circle track config.
Uhm... We had to get rid of AC refridge fluid, chain the doors closed, cut a hole in the hood for extinguisher access, remove the winshield.
I removed the extra stuff in the car. I padded the driver side door because impact really can be hard. Also reinforce the battery holder.
I will have to think about the other rules.
When is the demo derby?

Might, but I think I should be good. If I get a full day to work on it I think I could knock just about everything out. Last year we had a Plymouth Ares that was blue. Sadly it took one nudge and the lower control arm came off. This Saturn is not too bad. It's my girlfriends old car so shes helping in the destruction. Should be fun in a Saturn though!

I think this year im going for a Mario theme. My friend might make his Luigi colors. Might be fun to do but were not sure yet. My bud has a 93 Chevy Corsica

I was thinking the same thing, it'll be fun to see a car running with no body panels at all.

The SLs and SCs will take a beating though, at least the frame will. Not sure how long the stuff under the hood will last.

Why no Imperials? Are they simply that big?

 

[Floyd2004]

Its a 91 SL2... Ill take some pics after we gut it
