100% More Power for an Explosive Acceleration
Designed by our master mouse trap racer builder Bartley Jones, The Jones Pulley system is engineered to give a mouse trap powered racer as much as 100% more power... and... keep that power pulling up to 50% longer than everyone else's vehicle! The Jones Pulley system is designed to maximize the winding of the mousetrap's spring more then the traditional 180 degrees. The Jones Pulley system will give your dragster an almost unfair advantage as the explosive acceleration of this vehicle causes it to pop a wheelie as it "rockets" off the start line.  The Jones Pulley Dragster is designed for all speed contest and “king of the hill” climbing challenges.



A mouse trap racer designed for success
By far, the two biggest secrets to this little mouse trap racer's success is the design of its ultra sticky foam wheels and the use of the Jones Pulley System. The ultra sticky foam wheels are essential for providing maximum traction and keeping the Jones Pulley Dragster from spinning out at the start line. The Jones Pulley System is design to allow the mousetrap to wind more than the traditional 180 degrees causing double the traditional potential energy of all other mouse trap racers.

Includes the following: bass wood, ultra sticky foam wheels, Jones Pulley, brass axle and pulley tubing, front light-weight wheels and axle, Victor mousetrap, thrust bearings, kevlar string, and step-by-step plans secret performance tips.
