Marshall Fall Derby

Support your local demo derby.

A wicked storm passed through our area Saturday afternoon leading to a mud bog like of a track for the annual fall derby at Marshall. In all about 30 full size cars and 16 compacts took to the track. Marshall has quite liberal rules: It's full weld on the frames, leaf conversions w/7 leafs max, 22" rear hump plates, cages can attach to the frame and unlimited use of #9 wire can help make new style cars run well with the old iron. Drivers can also weld steel rebar into the control arms on the front end. It's not an outlaw show, but it's not too far from it. Definitely not 'stock' for sure! lol

'85 leafed and tilted Lincoln of Shawn Robison goes nose to nose with a '65 New Yorker which had a Imperial subframe. Like I said, not a stock show at all!

Jason Hall's '64 Ford Galaxy with an 80s Crown Vic front clip.

The NYker with the Imp sub finished 4th in the heat and would head to the consi.

'72 Buick Riveria

'62 Plymouth Belvedere - Unfortunately the driver revved his engine while in neutral at this spot and the rearend yoke broke as well as the tranny yoke,\. This car will be back at the fair derby next June. Should be wicked to watch run.

Feature event winner, believe it's a '75ish Buick Electra

4th place - Shawn Robison's '85 Lincoln - He had a fire and was DQ'ed.

Lance Cline's '77 Chrysler Newport.

What was really funny was that when Shanw had an engine fire, the other three cars left all quit running or got hung up. :lol: The 3rd place guy in an 80s Lincoln ran over his own bumper on the west end of the track. Lance in his Newport had massive engine problems and his block was smoking badly and might have burnt his transmission and was barely rocking in place. He'd take 2nd. That left the Buick which had it's front bumper pinned under a dead car but he was still moving forwards and backwards. They called him the winner.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
Looks like a good derby! Though I never thought I'd hear of a Ford Probe winning any kind of race, not even a demo derby! ;)
