Road Rocket

==Description==
Road Rocket is an open-cockpit race car with an articulated, aerodynamic lid. The casting was originally named Rocket Shot in an internally-published Mattel list.
The lid not only assists the airflow of a front splitter and rear wing, but acts as an engine cover and cooling system for the car's large, heavy 5.0 liter flat-ten. The lid was fused with the car's body in a 2015 retooling.
Road Rocket featured as car #12 of the Highway 35 anniversary event, driven by Bart "Shrimp" Scampi from the Street Breed team.
