I think Craig is simply trying to take HIS econo challenge in a different direction from the first ones, which evolved into competition-only machines and conditions. He now wants competition results for everyman. Now he's saying, no puny underpowered non-practical non-fun machine that WON'T be the first choice of what to drive/ride in a stable full of vehicle options. To that end, there will be no puttering around at sub-speed limit speeds. There will be no wimpy machines that can't maintain the speed limit up hills and into headwinds. There will be no crumpling up into a little ball for a ride of over 100 miles duration. There will be room for stuff, as that is what often happens when people go out and about- they need to carry some stuff. This is all common sense, people. Of course the most objective measurement of all would be the same dyno routine the EPA uses. But where's the fun in that? Who would be excited about the contest and want to build and enter if there was only a dyno run?
