And that is exactly why they will be disqualified.

We're looking for cheap entry fees and shitty performance so nobody feels bad that they can't immediately have what other people have.

How about we tie strings to Hot Wheels and pull them through the dirt. You can drive in pairs...one pulls the string, the other makes engine noises...
