Hi all! I have a technical question about the build-off rules. I'd like to enter my "mini from scratch" project in the no limits class. But the problem is that I started working on this project a little bit before the build-off became official. Is it ok anyway to enter the contest?

I was cleaning the garage today, getting rid of some useless stuff that had been taking room for years and I found a big sheetmetal box far under the stairs. It was heavy and extremely dusty. It had obviously been there for years. I opened the box and... there was an old cast-iron piston...

I guess it happens to all of us someday... I was just riding my little four-wheeler around the neighborhood, not disturbing anyone. It has the stock muffler and I was going about 15 mph, driving carefully. It's not like if I was going at max speed and sliding everywhere! And the traffic where...
