was watching 'bitchin today, the guys were checking out a car show in California.
some guys had a tethered racing track, apparently those things were popular 50-70 years ago.
basically a 20' circular board track with a 1:10 or 1:12 scale gas powered racer connected to the center pole. they ripped around the track in about 1 second, converted to scale speed it was way over 500 mph.
I used to have tethered planes back in the early 60's, but they weren't hooked to anything but your hand. the winner was usually the guy that took longer to get dizzy and fall down.
