We were given the opportunity to (within preset design constraints) design and create racing dragsters to compete on the track. For my design, I decided that the simpler the design, the more aerodynamic it would be. I didn’t have any prior experience with this, so my design decision was nearly a shot in the dark. My first design was too big to fit on the wedge of wood that we worked with so I had to modify
