• Cars may be decorated with just about anything, just make sure the original block, wheels and nails are used.
• Height is not really restricted, but the car does have to travel under the finish line, (5 or 6 inches), and you don’t want the car too top heavy.
• Have Fun! Yes this is a competition, but having fun is the most important thing.
