The Ging Gang Goolies are big lads who will need a chunky frame for their car. By making it cross-shaped, they will easily seat three while the fourth man will have to sit on the engine. A four-wheel design, plus their weight will require a large engine (but not so large it can't fit into a backpack) so this may be a heavy vehicle. Heavy could very well equal slow which is not good in a timed race.

The Muck Spreaders are keeping their weight in check. A three-wheeled car that they can stand on would be much smaller and lighter. They also want to use a small engine that will be raised and lowered on a pivot to engage a belt drive. Again, they could also face problems if their engine is under powered plus standing up could make cornering at any speed a risky maneuver.
