You have to make better rules, here are some of them.
- max hinge speed
- can you use killers?
- do you have to use a gearbox?
- can it be automatic (scripting)?
- what do you call cheating?
- what is "over the top" for scripting?

I know this is your first contest (even your first post), so this is to make it better.

Well, I can make a good go kart, but I'm not good in graphics. But I will give it a try.

Thanks, but I think I don't need it. My graphics are better then I excepted. The only thing I still need is a good booster or something.

Hmmm.... I may post something. But not tonight.

I advise against grading on speed, unless you add some very serious motor limitations and ban air friction manipulation. Anything can go fast.
Made some cool stuff a long time ago
