Would anyone be interested in a LEGO drag racing competition? I don’t have
anything firm on paper right now, but I do have ideas. I think that it would be
limited to four motors, but it would not be a robotics drag race, just an all
out race to the finish. There will probably be classes based on weight, size,
and/or number of motors. Before I start writing rules and a web page for
something like this, I just want to know if there is any interest in this type
of event. Thanks for the help.

| Hello all! Just an update to what rules I think should be included in an all-out drag racing competition. First off, there should be five classes, four with limitations on the number of motors (1-4 motors), and the fifth would be an unlimited class, (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
