Object of the event:

To travel the greatest distance possible with one wind applied to a clockwork engine. (“World’s unofficial record” distance as established at last year’s meet was 322 feet.)

Each participant can enter as many separate clockwork engines as desired

Each entry can attempt up to three runs of the course.

Only the single best time for each entry will be used to determine the winner.

Only 0 gauge will compete against 0 gauge.

Any gauge-1 participants will compete against gauge-1 or, if no competitive entries, the participant can do up to three demonstration runs.

The distance traveled as measured by the judge is final.

Distance traveled by each entry will be measured from release to the point at which the entry reaches a complete stop. For ease of measurement each revolution of the track will be considered to be 145 feet.

Flywheels, counter weights and other balancing attachments are permitted but no modification of any obstacle or trackside impediment will occur unless it is determined to be to the advantage of all
