they are locked into place, directly in front of a pressurised pin. when the timed hits 0 the pin punctures the soft material at then of the canister and the rush of the pressurised CO2 gas trying to reach atmospheric pressure and to escape, propels the craft down the strip.

You Dont.
they go from around 20 to 50 miles per hour the fastest one was 57
You can find materials to build CO2 dragsters at several companies: Hearlihy http://www.hearlihy.com/store/default.aspx?CategoryID=131&by=9&c=1 Pitsco http://shop.pitsco.com/store/default.aspx?CategoryID=84&by=9&c=1 Also, lots of good dragster info at Science of Speed http://www.science-of-speed.com/
Rear engine dragsters are more aerodynamic and provide better traction.

Co2 dragster kits can be purchased at many hobby shops. These kits will come with detailed instructions for building as well as all the parts you will need to do so. By aiming to build the lightest dragster possible, potential speed capabilities can be increased exponentially.
Some use gasoline, some use alcohol, and the top fuel dragsters burn nitro methane.
Top fuel dragsters regularly hit 300mph by the quarter-mile mark.
Parachute-aided braking
The lighter the dragster is for its horsepower, the faster it will go. This is why the front frames and tires are so relatively flimsy.
