        No wings, engine still in the rear - good compromise.

            I don't see any mirrors so a spotter will still be needed. Uncle Bobby won't be happy. But clearly there is no telemetry or computer so maybe he will accept the compromise as well.

              What no one noticed it's a turbine? Or at the very least a pulse jet

                based on the height of the corn, I'd guess that's Brazil Indiana....not San Paulo Brassiere.... :kk

                    I see they adopted Dr. Steve Olvey's safety requirements for a more upright sitting posture to protect from vertabrae injuries.

                      I see the same old problem. You can't follow close enough in the turns to set up a pass.

                      Will that run on E85?

                        I dream of a better world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.

                        Simple incompetence is a far more sinister force in the world than evil intent.

                          Don't jump to conclusions, the front wheels are awfully close together and you haven't seen it with the carbon fiber attached.

                            I think this must be their oval setup. Turbine will have trouble accelerating out of a tight corner without afterburner, and the the superheated exhaust would angle across the outside lane as the car turned into the apex. That would block the outside lane and inevitably result in urgent enforcement action by BB.

                              Can't be, this one is adult sized.
