I'm not sure I want in on this but here goes.

Some road racing groups have a power to weight ratio check. They bring a chassis dyno and a scale to the events. Without getting into all the math about areas under the power curve, that seems simple enough. Over your power to weight limit and you're done (check after the race) or you put on weight (check before the race). Part of the racing entry fee pays for the dyno pull. NASA does this for some of their classes. Could there be an opportunity here to:

1. police the HP factors?
2. create a "new eliminator" based on power (real, not imagined) and weight for heads up runs?

other ideas?

I really liked Billy's 5K claimer idea. He'd be making money hand over fist....
