What I think you're saying is put a circly thing with little hooks on the axle (the metal thing that goes across), then put a hook on the chassi, hook then stretch the rubberband and wind it up.. am I correct?

That would work.
Have you tried googling "rubber band car". I got 429,000 hits. Looking at other designs can give you some ideas about how to build your car.
This one looks pretty neat. I wonder what makes it go so fast.

I recommend you don't simply copy a design though. It's not as fun that way and takes away from the spirit of the competition.
