I'm having a little bit of difficulty with not being able to use modern
tools and materials for the metallurgy for building my engine. :-)
Will I have to build it on Mars, also?

If you really want to see a drivers only contest, watch IROC racing (was
just on ESPN this afternoon) - a dozen identical cars, and in 40 laps, the
pack spread out to a few car lengths. The winner was a Pontiac. So was
the loser, and every other car in the race. I think that it is more fun to
watch an event where the vehicles differ.

We really need two sections of the whole competition - one section with
fixed platforms, and one section permitting custom hardware.
