how did u pass inspection with the gas tank not covered

When I was running derbies back in the 80's there were no seperate classes. My local derby ran a show on Saturday night of around 10 heats with 12 cars in each. Another show on Sunday afternoon for any non-winners still running and any fresh cars that showed up. Then another show Sunday night for anyone who could still limp out there. At the end there were around 24 winners so they ran 2 semi features. A friend won his heat Sunday night so he didn't have much time to work on his car. They closed the big wooden gate to the track as he pulled up for his semi. He asked the guy at the gate to open it and he refused. My friend was so pissed he threw his helmet at the gate and it split in half. The cars were a lot tougher back then, but maybe not the helmets.

Maybe there's a secret compartment in that tank splashing water around in case of a fire🥵💣

Gas leak. Metal hitting metal. What could go wrong lol

Helmet did not break, the visor came off, huge difference. Being over dramatic on the internet to get clicks on the videos is never acceptable.

All these comments like a bunch of whiney little 20 somethings... thin skinned little girls for sure.

Oh yea let’s go get a win

Why would you put the fuel tank right next to the driver, 😮

😮omg is guy 👌

drby starts at 3:52, and he broke his visor at 4:55

Not mention the skull piercing studs sticking out of the hold down bracket -- yikes !!!!

Hi All my Own Belogical Out there racing

im the 333 like hope thats not bad luck!

What lift cam is in it ?

Invest in a better gas tank , before you become a fire ball. Shame on the officials for letting you pass inspection.

For those of u saying he had a fuel leak are fucking dumb if he had a fuel leak it woulda caught on fire from the flames coming out of the exhaust

What fuel are you using?

Brut64 my is darla

I need that Merc Bobby :)

Don’t run engines inside places made for humans

Somebody about to go "what- why the carb?"

Talk about your light flywheels!!!

More timing

Sounds great!

Just stay on it till Parts go flying everywhere

Sounds like a good derby motor

Nice. Is that one of those new Holley killers that someone else makes?

That looks like a front motor mount from a 1950s truck

Sounds nasty

I saw this at 7 this morning it's like my 5th time watching it today😂

unless it’s a derby car those tires are a sin

You know, a lot of those scratches will buff right out.

Please don't drive that noisy piece of shit in my neighborhood. I've got enough jerks with loud cars and motorcycles here as it is.

Nasty

What cam u running

Sounds mean

That's a nasty car good job

You have a death trap right there... That gas can is spewing fuel out after every hit...

What cam is think?

Blow it up with no load on it.

In stand view??

Sounds good 👍

Didn't tech let you know your fuel can is leaking...??? Wtf... i wouldn't let that happen when I get fuel for my lawn mower... let alone a damn demo car... you need to learn the basics of engines and safety before you enter another demo derby.... that bomb could have harmed more people than you... and also the officials trying to save you from the car.bomb you engineered... The metal on metal from your poor firewall fab job is enough to cause a spark to send that rig sky high...

don't know that id put the electric fuel pump next to the passenger door

ouch! and yeah gas everywhere

how much does it cost to build a car like this?

I gotta disagree with the fuel tank in the bed guys, easiest way to tell if you've got a fire is if it's next to you

I love watching derby vids on RU-vid

Congratulations on the boy! :) hows the motor? We tried this and it ended up needing a major clean out before it would run again lol
