Just about every derby has different rules, and multiple different classes. Might be best to find your local derby, and contact them. There are FB groups and the WeCrash forum, as well.
What you need is a build thread and plenty of video footage of the ensuing antics 
All I’ll say is don’t scimp on safety make sure you build as much safety inside as you can in terms of bars,cage,seats etc.
From my one experience, not only does each even have its published rules, it also has its “rules”(nudge nudge, wink wink). My(now ex) BIL ran an 88 Prelude in one & we followed the rules as closely as we could. We arrived to find an AMC Spirit with a full NASCAR cage & heavy tubular steel bumpers front & rear attached to the whole structure. Unsurprisingly they won.
I was too young to protest but a family friend bought my grandfathers PRISTINE 1972 Mercury Monterey for $500 and came in second place in our local derby. Did I say pristine?
Thus is indistinguishable from his that died in a fiery crumpled wreck (he had to bail out still runnng due to engine fire).
