  Air propelled toy dragster car - Patent 5326301
For dragster 18 and dragster 118, the top of the body 20 (or 120) has a transition, or inflection point, 20a (or 120a) about midway between the skate 22 (122) and the bouncer 23 (123) to provide rake for the body 20 (220).
This could be important if the dragster is run on a track which is supported on a table or a floor and the user must keep the gun a specified distance from the end of the track in which the dragster 18 is resting.
While the dragster toys constructed in accordance with this invention generally weigh in the range of 3 to 8 grams, the weight supported by the skate 22 is extremely low relative to the weight supported by the bouncer 23.
