12. How did it go? Did your racer meet your expectations? Explain. What were things you might have i

My dragster performed really well on the day of the race. Although I wanted it to win first place, it still exceeded my expectations because considering how fragile my dragster was, I was not expecting it to remain as one working piece by the end of the racing, but surprisingly it was one of the strongest dragsters and did not break by the end of the racing. Overall, I would say my dragster went really well because I came in third place and it was certainly pretty fast but the average speed was not calculated therefore I am not sure what the average speed of the dragster itself is. After I saw my car race, the only thing I would like to improve would be to make the front axle more tight because there was a bit of loose space in the front axles since the body was skinnier from the front but if I made the axles too tight, they might not have spun that well. Overall, I really loved my car and I don't think it requires a lot of improvement, but the car would certainly have moved better if there had been elastics around the back wheels because after the cartridge released the co2, the wheels kept spinning and then the car moved so because they did not have a lot of grip they took more energy in order to move so if they had more grip they would have moved better, therefore, next time I may add elastics around the wheels if I were to keep this shape, but if i was to change the shape of my car, I would design it so that it has even less mass to it.
