There is a really wretched Model A truck cab that the bottom 8" of are swiss cheese and Model A frame in my back yard. I also have an Olds 455, an Olds 307 or a 300K Chevy 350, which paired with the 200-4R in the garage should cover the acceleration and unreliability.
At least I'll look cool and be comfortable after my evil-handling contraption barfs the rods out of the block and understeers off the course post-terminal velocity blast.

There is still a randomness, because you have no idea how the judges will rule! That would let anyone build whatever they want, and try to hit the mark- like bracket racing! Oh, expenses incurred buying stats would, of course, hit the budget!
I like this, as long as we keep the part where the points hit your budget.
Nerd alert!!!! 
In all seriousness, this seems like a really fun idea. I'd love to read about what kind of creations y'all come up with.
Oh man I just rolled a horrendous example

This is fun.

The bench racing alone is plenty amusing
So, attempted my "you only get one" reroll theory. Rerolled my 3 for Reliabilty aaaaaaaaaaand it turned into a 4. So it would only have to fling 3 rods out of the block, instead of 4
I'm liking this idea more and more. Much to my chagrin my nine year old has decided he really likes D&D. I just told him about this idea. He gives it a big thumbs up.
But why wait till 2018. It could be done for 2017. Just decide on the categories get someone to be the official Dungeon master or whatever it's called to be the official keeper of the game sheets.
Call him or her the Challenge Master?
This sounds like great fun!
I haven't thrown dice in years, but oddly they are on the shelf within arms lenghth of my computer. Lets blow the dust off and see what happens!

Looks like I just stuffed a nitrous fueled big block into a G-body. Trouble is I know nothing about nitrous or how to make the trans hold up to this amount of power. Acceleration could be better if I had enough budget left for slicks and ladder bars
In reply to Gearheadotaku:
Not knowing anything about nitrous or how to make a trans hold up just contributes to that reliability score of 4
That was my point...
