If it's home made... even though it's not an NPW, can I use it for the Unofficial Rag Flapper Race?

I'm ready tooooo, I was a bit disappointed we didn't get things together last year for the rag flapin races. What are the max length of lines 12 ft,
15ft, 20ft? I made up some 12ft sets for last year hoping to to do some racing. Susan and I have put a lot of miles and hours on our rags this year in
preperation for the races.
I can hardly wait!!

No it wasn't a 32m. It was a 35m... yeah, that's it! And it was 3.0 mph average wind speed (8.3mph peak earlier) and 2.1mph at the
very instant that the photo was taken... 
Dave Petty who?
