That’s just about 3 G’s in acceleration……. They built a vacuum pressure system on the thing that nearly doubles the down force on the wheels.

Zoom-zoom.

Check this video out...it has to do with miniature robots solving mazes as quickly as possible autonomously. However, towards the end they have a segment on speed advances made by, essentially, sucking the car to the ground.

Interesting stuff all around.

Done at Drag strips every weekend if the faster cars show up and I’m not talking Top Fuel.

But one does it with 50 gallons of fuel and two $5,000 tires, the other one with three 9 volt batteries, lol.

Read again. Not TOP FUEL.

Weekend racers without sponsors have cars that quick.

I like anything highly technical and mechanical. I didn’t mean to sound like it was inconsequential but hardly worthy of earth shattering.

"Car" and driver weighed in at around 400 pounds. Still impressive to get a go cart to be that quick.

fair enough.

But they could probably shave off another tenth if they wound the rubber band a little tighter....
