Sorry to be such a sourpuss- but this competition seems in one major sense pointless as the entrants have to use the same basic engine (a Briggs & Stratton) - although modifications are allowed. Without being able to alter the propulsion type why bother. Also I'd set a minimum speed of 60mph (after say 50s) as that really would add a useful and realistic 'constraint' to the competition.
