Curious to know what competitions are going to be involved, the $200 Wagon of Doom RallyX beast might be a good starting point.

This could be alot of fun.

How about these rules…

-$100 **X** , **X** should represent the calendar year.  
-After the competition if anyone offers $120 **X** for the car you **must** sell. This means the car is actually worth what the competitors say, the car can not be used for a subsequent year competition(the competitors will not compete against themselves), and everyone makes $40 for their labor (nothing more). This probably should be given a timeframe of one month after the last event.  
-Instead of 0-100-0, have a stop-run-stop from a section on Dunnville’s front straight. To get up to speed use and part of Curve Grande that does not include corner dynamics. Stop section can be similar to GT’s box. Lowest time wins.  
-Since it’s 5 team members each memeber must do a seperate competition. **This means no shoe-ins.** One for drag, fuel mileage, auto-x, road course, and stop-run-stop.

I think it would be fun…maybe not enter the GRM challange but maybe model the rules somewhat after it…and like Jeremy said have an overall competition so its fair across the boars like SCC Ultimate Street Car Challenge

Sounds like fun, I think I’d be in. I like MPD’s rules, they seem the most fair. I think if you have parts already lying around then they should “cost” you the fair market value like GRM says. As for a prize I think it would be just for fun, or maybe just a trophy and bragging rights. There should also be a no cost limit on “saftey” features like tie rod ends , wheel bearings, replacement fuel lines and gas tanks.
