Description

Metric drag racing is an excellent way to motivate students while they design, construct, and race their own CO₂ dragsters. This Getting Started package includes everything you need to launch your students’ program: materials to build and finish 50 student dragsters.

Our illustrated, self-directed student workbook holds the students’ attention as they learn step-by-step automotive-design processes. The CO₂ Dragster User Guide is available for print here, or you can download a digital copy for free here.

This top-notch bike pump will stand up to years of use. It features all-metal construction and a heavy-duty rod that resists bending. Also features a mounted pressure gauge, a locking hose end, and a contoured, rubberized handle.
