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)?
