The rules are going to be completely new and are only in a very early draft right now. Any information you find online will be dated, so I wouldn't even worry about hunting for it.

Even if it is dated, I found the 2006 rules: http://sps.k12.mo.us/pipkin/SODivb/Whee ... ehicle.pdf

I am thinking it won't be powered my mousetrap, elastic, batterys, orsomething like scrambler

so whats left? counterweight attached to the vehicle? air pressure propelling it (CO2 cartrage)?

and the fact of the rules being totally being redone kinda implies that there will be a different source of power and not fishing rod
