Right, that is what happens often. And in such cases the judges--irreverent, experienced and skeptical judges who have seen it all--simply penalize the team with extra laps. Most of these cars struggle to finish anyway. A cheaters $4000 craptastic racer is still ****ty.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
