I can\'t get it to cut off exactly at 10s... seems kinda silly.

[Trebuchet-Launch]

OK, Kerbal Drag Racing. Presenting: The DragStar-I.

Attached are screenshots of the second flight of the DragStar-I. Top speed: 379.4 m/s

This *was* good enough for first place, but someone has beaten me. Back to the drawing board...

[Naiba]

If anyone wants to steal this design and get it working and bother with the screenshot timings, you\'re welcome to it, can\'t be bothered.

[Trebuchet-Launch]

Dragstar-II achieves 467.2 m/s. I am going to see if I can beat it.

Here\'s my attempt.

ready for launch

at 10 secs 518m/s

Safe landing

[bsalis]

405.8 @ 9 secs

i win 372.3 m/s 8)

[loupduqc]

was late at night and I was too lazy to make good screen shot

so there a video:

also an HD pic of the flight report just under to download

[Foursh]

562m/s

I think that\'s a new record! 8)

[erdab]

your throttle was still on at 10 seconds...

[Apotheosist]

Yeah, I\'d say that\'s 504.1 m/s as that\'s what is shown in the screenshot at 10 seconds.

[Nooblet68]

your throttle was still on at 10 seconds...

Although the engines are out of fuel. They\'ve essentially shut down.

[Foursh]

Yeah, the fuel runs out right at ten seconds. The ship is already slowing down in the second screenshot.

How do you solve hair drag problems in speed challanges ? You call for Neil 'Bald' Kerman. (607m/s)

all kerbals ans systems Green!

pre ignition in progres (timer not started).

Burn succes 606.1 m/s - end screen gives 607.

The brilliance of Kerbal Astro enginnering shines through clever use of duct tape and paper glue. All engines and empty tanks separate 'automatically'.

Proud record holder and his craft , well what\'s left of it that is.

and end screen for more !!SCIENCE!!

864,4m/s

oh and the rcs are there just to dump heat

O_O well there goes my knowledge on KSP parts, seems like SRB got some nice buffs... i remember i couldn\'t make orbit with only SRB\'s now its like i can go to mun and still get one full for return trip.

Managed 1017m/s with your design with 37 boosters (maximum my cpu could handle). I\'ll see if i can do some creative design and mb post it then.

Good job! :3

[Foursh]

864,4m/s

Great design!

I made some improvements (MOAR BOOSTERS!!!1) and managed 1036 m/s

I have been unable to reproduce that flight, namely because SRB's burn longer than 10 seconds, and yours cut off after 10. I tried using the stability enhancers, but they break off at ignition, even if they aren't disconnected.

I'll have my own entry as soon as i get all of my fuel to burn in 10 secs.
