Competing derby vehicles will include everything from cars to short buses! Teams/interested parties can register to enter their car at $40 per entry until April 1st (on April 1st, the price goes up to $50 and closes May 13th) and paint and supplies will be provided to each team and derby fans to decorate their car on Friday night for the opening ceremony.
