We (engineers at Compaq and outside consultants) designed, built (some of it), raced and won with this car in 2001.
Two cars race at a time.
Two people push each car for 60 feet, then coast down Sand Hill Rd. in Menlo Park CA.
Speed at the end of the push ~22mph, speed at the end of the course ~43mph.
The competition was fairly serious, some teams had professional bob-sled pushers.
The car is still in good shape, stored waiting for another race.
