The teams that win use a "coast and burn" technique. Since the college competition requires you to use a 1.5HP briggs and stratton engine, most teams de-tune the engine and find that it's most efficient at high speeds. So instead of just running at a constant 20MPH they open up the throttle, get to a certain speed and kill the engine. Then they start up the engine and do it again.
I figure if i'm going to wait another few months I might as well wait a few more for blue-laser dvd drives. Pioneer, Samsung, Shapr and Sony are creating a device that can burn 27gb on a single disc and NEC claims their drive can burn 38gb on a disc. These are only availble in japan right now, but should be in the US market in 2004.
