My entry to the Checkered Flag drag race challenge. My aim was to start simple and I was able to reach a speed of 300 mph with this creation at some point. Maybe I shouldn't have added all those extra parts to add weight. This car doesn't have steering and it's got just enough fuel for one run.

    I already made a tweaked version that hits 312, but getting over that seems to be difficult. @Hammy125

    You think so? Actually, I had it going way over 300 at some point in development but once I had improved the aerodynamics the top speed had dropped.@Hammy125

    With a bit of tweaking this will hit 350 max.

    Heh, the name came naturally as I tried my best to keep the drag to a minimum. Glad you like it. @EliteIndustries1
