|There can NEVER be a positive side to putting a car of any kind in
a =
demolition derby. The key word here is "demolition". It is so = destructive. I thought classic car enthusiasts were concerned with the = preservation of antique, classic, and specialty automobiles. It is a = disgrace to us that so many view the Imperial and large Chrysler cars as = the ultimate derby car. If there was a positive side to this = destruction, then why don't we see '57 Chebbies or '59 Caddies or Shelby = Mustangs? I think a station wagon would make a good derby car, so how = about putting that '55-'57 Nomad in there? Any takers for derbying a '65 = GTO? If these people absolutely HAVE to derby, then why not set up = national rules to limit the types of cars allowed? How about old used = up police cars and taxi cabs? That would certainly equalize the playing = field (similar to NASCAR)and put the emphasis on driver talent, not how = big and bulky the car is. There, Ive said my piece.| | Keith |
