SUV- Suburban, Carryall, Travelall, or similar style vehicle

Full size Blazer, Jimmy, Jeep Wagoneer or similar style vehicle.

Full size Pick Up Truck. (No dual wheel axles, No Utility beds. MUST be regular style factory issue Truck or it WILL NOT compete.

Use the car rules for basic building and hood hold downs. Then see the below regulations.

Doors and tailgates / back doors may be welded solid shut.

Gas tank must be mounted directly behind the driver if using a truck. Driver protection bars may extend through the back of the cab and into the bed to protect the gas tank. Only go back far enough to protect. Do not go way back to where it turns into reinforcement.

Bed bolts and suv floor bolts / mounts may be removed and replaced with bolt similar in size and you may add a washer approximately 7 inches in diameter to the top and bottom of bolt to when bolting back together. 4 EXTRA bolts / mounts may be added in floor of bed or suv.

You can weld cab and bed together on each side with a metal strap as filler. You can bolt them together with big bolts and washers.

Transmission coolers must be mounted in bed of trucks and behind driver in suv’s.

Driver door plate acceptable. It may be extended past the driver door and be bolted to the bed on the trucks if desired

4 wheel drive vehicles must have front driveshaft removed.

Entry for Evansville will be same as always. $50.00 each vehicle and 100% guaranteed payback of entry fees and if we can get a sponsor to throw in a few bucks for the event like we have in the past, this will be added to the purse also. Payout will be determined at day of show based on amount of entry money.

In the beginning, we allowed some of the Smashemup officials to run in this event to help maintain enough vehicles to have the event. In 2007, we had the best turn out yet. Due to the officials still having used vehicles, they will once again be allowed in the Evansville competition in 2008. This however, will be the last year they can compete.

Entry fees will be collected at the registration table like we do when signing in cars.

Entry fees for Princeton will be posted soon along with payouts. This event is also open competition to anyone. However, this will be a self supported event and Hank & Jim of Smashemup will not be participating in this event.

Any other questions please email me. Thanks. Doug

Open Competition to anyone.
