FT Racing!  (8-)

I designed the racing ship that Tom is talking about; my theory was,
that since THRUST was a function of MASS, then you could build until
your ship was one giant engine.  Couldn't much else other then
fly about in circles, but it would go fast.  (Paint it red, and it goes
faster.  (8-) )
