Co2 Car help.

Typically there are two eyehooks that go on the bottom of the car and go on a fishing line to keep the car from veering off the track and hitting somebody. Schools tend to avoid hitting people with rocket powered cars .

I was at a comp. eight c02 cars, and after watching for a little, they can still wheelie at launch.

Forgot to mention that!! 👍 sorry.

And I will keep you guys updated on how it goes, hopefully will take pictures along the process too!

As others have mentioned, the lighter the better. Lightness is your friend, and will be the dominant factor in how well you do. Though technically aerodynamics does exist, its effects will be negligible. Another thing to think of is minimizing friction for all components (including the front tires/non driven wheels). Since it won't be very powerful, that will have a surprising amount of effect on the car.

Shoot for it being as light as possible, you'll rather be too light and have to put ballast than be too heavy.

Don't put a wheelie bar, it won't wheelie. Not for a school project.

Put clear nail polish on the front wheels!

aerodynamics will do very little in terms of drag however make sure its not shaped like a plane wing, you really don't want the thing taking off as it will then flip in the air and then inevitably end up pointing the wrong way and thus lose all the thrust.
