Adaption A | Dragster Burnout Test #1

I am quite pleased with the outcome of the smoke, I would like to use this effects for when the car is accelerating and doing a burnout at the starting line. The Back wheel I used was a different one that i used just for testing purposes. The final dragster will have different wheels on it.

I would need to go back and make sure the exhausts are coming out of the chassis rather than dwelling behind and probably go back and add some decals to the Dragster shell. Also the shell needs some depth too as it looks too graphical at the moment.
