history
The areoso LT dragster was a homemade top fuel dragster that first flew down the strip in early 2012 and was make for function, rather than looks. The engine was the most powerful the NHRA (National Hotrod Association) has ever seen, with it topping out at around 350mph at the line.

BUILDERS NOTE: this was a very quick build, I just saw the challenge and wanted to make an entry, in total probably about 4-5 hours of work. I focused mostly on the function rather than the looks, the engine looks amazing, but really is the only thing that does. Has working front and rear wings, that do provide downforce. I used yeager airport, and went to the last little thing that connects the two runways for my test, but going flat out, top speed is about 397-398 it was bouncing around.
