Could somebody hook me up with a copy of the rules? I had an idea strike me last night, and I need to see what the rules say to find out if it would be legal to do this..
The "click here for rules" deal isnt working for me.

I doubt if they'll be much different from the '07 rules... are you saying you can't open that thread?

Here they are...
________________________________________________
WFRCCC 2007 Rules
1. Wheel-driven vehicles only. Vehicles powered by thrust (jet, rocket, propeller, etc.) are not allowed. Turbine power is allowed only if the turbine is used to drive the wheels, not for thrust.
2. Vehicles may be powered by engine(s) or motor(s) of any number and configuration.
3. Vehicles may be any weight, with any chassis configuration and any number of wheels—but the completed vehicle may not exceed 40 inches (1016mm) in length.
4. All vehicles must use commercially available radio gear with a functioning fail-safe system set to apply full brake in the event of signal loss or interference.
5. Vehicles are not required to look like any type of "real" car or truck, but all entries must have some type of 3-dimensional "cockpit area" with windows (clear or painted). It's OK if your car looks like a space ship as long as it appears to have a place for a guy to sit.
6. No sacrificial power systems. Motors or power systems that, by design, are inoperable after a single run are not permitted.
7. Drivers must operate their vehicles from a fixed position. Chase cars are not permitted.
8. Drivers or teams may enter as many cars as they like.
9. For a speed record to count, the vehicle must make a second run and achieve a speed that is within 2% of the record speed. The second run can be made at any point during the event, the runs do not have to be back-to-back.
ENTRANTS
Entrants will be divided into three classes: Manufacturer Team, Independent Team and Individual.
MANUFACTURER TEAM: entries fielded by RC companies will run in the Manufacturer Team class.
INDEPENDENT TEAM: if the entered vehicle is the collaboration of three or more individuals operating without the support of a manufacturer, it will run in the Independent Team class. High school shop teams, university engineering departments, RC clubs ... this is your class!
INDIVIDUAL: any vehicle entered by a single person will run in the Individual class.
THE WINNER
Each vehicle will be given three attempts to make its fastest run. The vehicle with the absolute highest peak speed will be declared the overall winner, and separate awards will be given to the fastest vehicles in the Manufacturer, Independent and Individual classes.
