a fuel cell isnt required. and its NOT that 'anyone' can buy your car for $500. its not a demo derby either. the rules state that if someone comes with a car thats obviously more then $500, or has more then 500 worth of work plus the car, then that person can either not race, OR have the car bought AFTER the race for 500. in other words, if you put an obvious new/nearly new set of koni/stranos on a 3rd gen beater, theyll know you spent more then 500, and will either turn you away, or let you race and buy the car after the race.
its not a lottery, and its not a chance or a given that someone will buy your car. its to discourage buying an expensive car, or putting alot of money into a cheap car.
example: mc73nova has his drag race shop, or whatever. buys a roller 3rd gen. puts one of his used, built 12 bolt or 9in rears, a used worked 350 carb, with a T5 or TH350. the car only cost him lets say 300, but all the parts he put into it, albiet used and already owned, add up to way more then the 500 limit. therefore, he would be turned away or bought for 500 after the race.
and IF anyone does that, which i doubt they will, then you can take out what you put into it first.
