Not for the faint of heart! The Drag8k is a ground vehicle developed solely for Max Groundspeed Challenge. Successfull runs end with speed over 8000 mph. The others end... not so well. If the vehicle stays in one piece, it has a drag chute to extend the time before the final plunge into the ocean.
Controls: Throttle, AG1 for drag chute
Instructions: wait until wind dies down. Increase throttle until runway ends or vehicle spontaneously disassembles. If you end up airborne, deploy drag chute. If a run is unsuccessful, try again.
