Answer

C02 cartridges are compressed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The C02 Cartridge will be used to power our dragsters by the compression inside of the bottle. Since C02 is a compressed gas inside of a small container, The pressure when released my provide enough force to move the dragster at high speeds. An example of this would be like an air soft gun. some air soft guns are used by small C02 Cartridges, which let out a strong burst of compressed C02, which fires the projectiles at very high speeds.
