Drag Racer Lab

Take 1

9/15/25

As the name suggests, this lab involved building the fastest possible drag racer out of LEGO for a 20 foot track. We modelled our car after a real life top fuel dragster, with a long narrow body and large rear tires. As it was the first take for this lab, we were not allowed to use any gears, so the car was pretty slow. In the end we got our car to 0.55 meters per second or 1.23 mph (not very fast).
