The cars are to be launched with their front most part of the car against the starting gate. The first car to have the front of it break the finish line is the winner. If neither car makes it to the finish line, the car going the furthest in its lane wins.
All racing judges' decisions are final

There will not be a friday night cruise or Dyno Day this year. We are going to concentrate on packing as much fun and sweet looking cars into one day as possible!
