You could specify a wind speed limit like they do for sprints and jumping events? Still tough to limit the variables though.
Definitely a fun concept and I'd like to see a competition though.

Are drugs allowed?
Of course. As long as you don't get caught....

This sounds like just selecting the best VAM over a given duration from the Strava database.
