Best time for 2.5 meter: 3 seconds
Maximum Distance: 12.3
What I could have done to make it go faster: BEARINGS! I had just drilled 2 holes in the side of the mouse case and pushed an axle through. I lubed it up with WD40, but it needed more.

Suggestions: I think there should be less than 2" distance....so many of the cars looked almost like mice riding on cars (including mine), and that's what we were trying to avoid. Maybe....(this will be difficult)...no wheels showing :)
