Review the Hallway Racer Design
Portfolio packet with your students
• To develop a high quality design portfolio in a
self-contained binder that complies with all of the
design portfolio parameters defined below to
design the fastest full-scale “Hallway Racer!”
• To create the fastest full-scale “Hallway Racer
Prototype” powered by a supplied cordless drill
that complies with all of the design parameters
defined below.
The following items need to be of
high quality and included in your
design portfolio in the order listed
below:
• Cover Page
• Packet Inserted
• Problem Statement to clearly
Define the Problem.
• Gather Information from at least 3
sources on
steering, braking, and drive
systems for vehicles.
Dragster Design Portfolio Parameters
cont.
•
Generate 3 Alternative Thumbnail Designs
of each of the researched systems.
• Develop a Detailed Sketch of your Best
Design for each of the researched systems
on separate 8 ½” by 11” paper.
• Research online at Menards, Fleet Farm,
and Harbor Freight to find the best prices
for your requested materials and develop a
Purchase Order for each.
• Total cost of the prototype may not exceed
$50.
• The chart below lays out the minimum and
maximum design parameters for your Hallway
Racer Prototype. If your prototype does not meet
all of the design parameters, you will be
disqualified from the official competition. You
may still test your Hallway Racer if your instructor
deems it safe to test.

• Have your prototype evaluated to see if it
meets all of the defined design parameters to
qualify for the time trials.
• Compete in the time trials and calculate the
speed in MPH to qualify for the final race!
• In order to calculate the actual miles per hour (mph) for your
Hallway Racer, you need to figure out how many feet your car is
traveling per second. _50ft_ Distance traveled /_____Time in
seconds = _____ ft/sec.
• In order to convert ft/sec into miles/hour you need to know the
number of seconds in one hour. 1 hr = 60 minutes X 60 seconds =
3600 secs.
• You also need to know the number of feet in a mile which is 5280.
• Therefore 1ft/sec = 5280/3600 mph. So if your Hallway Racer
traveled 50ft/sec = 50 X (5280/3600) = 73.33 mph.
• Calculate the actual mph for your Hallway Racer_____ ft/second X
(5280/3600) = _____ mph.
• Make modifications to your prototype to
improve efficiency in speed and handling.
• Have your prototype re-evaluated to see if it
meets all of the defined design parameters to
qualify for the time trials.
• Race your prototype in the final race and
calculate the speed in MPH to determine the
champion.
