Power Source: The power source for the dragster must be a CO2 cartridge, which must be securely attached to the vehicle. 6. Propulsion System: The propulsion system for the dragster must be a compressed air-based system, using the expanding gases from the CO2 cartridge to propel the vehicle forward. 7. Brake System: The brake system for the dragster must be a simple friction-based system, using a small piece of sandpaper or a similar material to slow down the vehicle when needed. 8. Safety Features: The safety features for the dragster must include a protective cover for the CO2 cartridge and a secure attachment point for the vehicle to prevent it from coming loose during use.
