Re: What I do for fun (demo derby picts)
I ran the demo's for years at Riverside Park in Agawam Mass. Here's a few tricks that always made it thru inspection. Run your fan belts so they slip a fan in the radiator will kill your motor and make it hard to restart. Disconnect your tranny cooler, again your radiator gets wasted no need to dump all your tranny fluid on the track, cut the lines about 6 inches from the tranny and run a rubber fuel line bewteen the 2 hoses. The rear end of the cars cave in badly and protect the fuel lines from the tank above the rear axel cut and remove about 6 inches of the steel fuel line and replace with rubber fuel line this way the car can take a lot of rear end damage with-out breaking your fuel lines. Disconnect your safety netural switch you can start in any gear. You don't need rear brakes crush the brake lines so they don't work. I used to run only Mopars they had a ceramic ballast resitsor on the fire wall, solder a jumper in and last paint the nose of the car flat black it's tough to see thru all the smoke and learn to drive from the middle of the car say alert and watch your driver door. I ran demo's close to 30 times won my heat 4 times with 30 cars involed never won a feature but I had fun...
