Actually, it looks like Woody didn't start the 2.70 competition (at least according to Brad Stone's Gearheads book), although it sounds like he shaped it quite a bit. He souped up the kit of parts and I think he may have been the one who started changing the challenge each year instead of reusing the same competition each year.
