Participant guidelines for the Night of Destruction 8/10
**All potential participants must use our Facebook page to let us know you're planning to enter so that enough pit parking spots can be cleared and payouts can be set.
**A regular adult general admission ticket is all you need to purchase for entry. Upon arrival, tell the parking attendants you're participating in the derby or trailer race and you'll be guided to the proper place in the pits.
**We reserve the right to deny admission or cap the number of entries. Another reason to not wait: we expect the event to sell out during the first week of August, and once the tickets are sold the fire department will not allow us to let another person in! Payouts determined once entrants are finalized.
**All persons in your vehicle/trailer entering that night need their own ticket. Those tickets can be purchased online, in person at Holub or Shaker's, or at the Speedway on 7/27 or 8/3.
**Demo derby participants must pass pit inspection by 6 pm night of the event.
