The Cayuga, Indiana Fire Dept held their first demo derby as a $ benefit for the dept this year. Only about 24 full size, 8/9 compacts, and 4 full size trucks showed. All in all a pretty decent derby. Cayuga changed their rules this year. They now allow all top seams of the frames to be fully welded and allow steel plates over the outside of the rear frame over the rear axle. This is limited to 22" either forward, behind or centered over the rear humps and can only be a quarter of an inch thick. They also now allow fro 2 down bars to be attached to the frame off of the drivers 4 point cage on each side. Last year, no part of the drivers cage could touch the frame, hump plates were only legal if the car was pre-ran and was bent and frames could only be welded from the a-arms froward. They still don't allow any coil to leaf spring conversions though. Several of the drivers that ran the series of derbies held by the Fire Dept last year didn't have cars in the full size class, driving down#. Add in that several other derbies in southern Illinois and central Indiana were going on today as well didn't help. My camera from the time of the 2nd heat to the end kept saying my batteries were low, so I only took about 50+ decent pics. Only 2 full size qualifying heats were held. Heat 1 pair of '64 Galaxies ![]() ![]() Pair of suicide Lincolns ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Think the green car is an early 90s Buick Century. Other one is a '65-'68 C-Body Mopar. Yikes! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Guy had a fire and they broke his stick. Put on a heck of a show with a stock car in a full weld show. ![]() ![]() Heat #2 Another suicide Lincoln ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Compacts ![]() ![]() Believe this is a Dodge Omni. Car was built quite well and held up great. He'd get 3rd after a fire DQ'ed him. ![]() yellow Camry? was 2nd. ![]() Pure stock Chevy Cavilier wagon was the winner. He made the last hit as both the 2nd and 3rd place guys caught on fire in succession. ![]() Trucks-Only 4 showed up but put on a nice show. No sandbagging in this heat. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The mid 70s chevy on the right had a fire and was DQ'ed. This was the last hit and the Ford F-250 was the victor. ![]() Feature ![]() ![]() The Superman roundback and the 38r chevy were the last two running. They went head to head for several great minutes of action. Ending the way derbies should be ended, 1st and 2nd place cars straight up. ![]() ![]() The roundback would win after the 38r had his radiator overheated then lost the engine and couldn't refire. Wreckage pics after the derby. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On the 60+ mile drive back home, snapped off this pic out my Tracker windown. A great shot to cap off a night of good derby action. ![]() |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Love the Superman Roundback and the Mopar police car (Monaco, Coronet, or Fury?). |

Think the Mopar cop ride was a Dodge Monaco. He was timed out in the feature after being stuck on a DQ'ed Lincoln. Think the car was pretty rusty in the back as it folded quick. |
