Post Race

Our race day was December 12. Our car was first up to race. The distance it was supposed to go was 10 meters and we had 3 runs. Our first run went well but our car went off the track at 8.66 meters. We learned from this and put it on an angle for the other two runs. It went 10 both times! So I was pleased with the outcome of the competitive distance part of the day.
After the actual race, all the vehicles that went ten meters went in a distance competition to see who's was best and if they could beat the school record. Our vehicle didn't do so well in that competition. It went about 8 meters, not even as good as before.
Then there was the last event of the day, the Drag Race. Our group decided that it would be a good idea to put on  smaller back wheels to increase acceleration. We won the first heat and moved on the the semi finals. We lost that one so we didn't get to compete in the finals.
If I could change our design now to improve the vehicle I would make the vehicle lighter by using different back wheels then records. I would also try and fix the problem of it fading to the right.
If I had to make a new vehicle, I would probably keep it the same for the most part, but change the materials we used for the chassis.
If I could have tweaked something to make our vehicle perform better, I would have made sure the holes i made in the mini sticks more accurate because I think that is why the car faded to the right.
