Default Interesting...

Just lookin through stuff and I came across this... 11.5 second electric car.

Maybe there are somethings to be learned here.

I used to have somthin similar except mine went up and down the wall through a loop.Although my dragsters were not quite as big or fast they still suffered from the same problem.The sound fail jus not enough excitement for me.If I really wanted to go fast at track quietly and economically.I'd stretch a big *** rubberband at the beams and let her rip.Really havent give the landing much thought but,thats jus details.
