Which may result in a poor quality cage.
I think they should increase the budget to $1000.00.
That video was awesome and cruel.

Anything that makes you safer is 'free' budget-wise. This ends up including a lot of things that also make you faster.
As for the organizers (not participants, just the organizers) buying your car, that hasn't actually ever happened. The organizers are pretty nice guys and know what kind of work/money goes into the safety half of the cars, I doubt they would elect to use that option unless you cheated REALLY badly and in bad spirit.
And finally, increasing the budget is kinda silly. You can get a whole lot of car for $500, especially if you buy a $1000 or $1500 car and are very good at selling away unnecessary interior bits like glass, seats, and trim to get your net cost below $500 (yes, that is allowed).
