Flying Foxes street cars

The Flying Foxes street cars are two of the forty-five cars that competed in the Casa Cristo 5000. Their racing numbers are 87 and 88 and their drivers were hired by Cruncher Block to eliminate Speed Racer, Taejo Togokhan and Racer X.

Technical Details
The Flying Foxes street car is based on the factory-standard Okamoto Roadster BXX component core body with a tapered Ki-Goi monocoque. The car uses custom-made reverse-helix decompensator jump jacks with over seventy-five patented components, putting out twice as much vertical thrust as the classic Nosok jacks.

Like most other racers in the Casa Cristo, Flying Foxes' cars are equipped with illegal weapons modifications. In this case, the car's wheels carry telescoping carbon fiber Christmas tree chop-bits with reticulating U-joints for attacking the tires of opposing cars. The paintjob, which features suggestive pin-up images of attractive women, can serve as a distraction method.

Delila’s car
Starting on the seventh row is Delila, driving her light pink Flying Foxes Car. The number of the car is #87, and it gets a good start. In the Muqranna, Delila took the right lane. She gets through the Muqranna safely and into the Zanubian Desert with no issues. Rather, she is the one creating them as she attacks Speed Racer. She shunts Speed on sight, and then disables him using one of her Christmas tree chop-bits to shred one of his tires. Speed returns with his jousting dishes and the two duel, it gets too close so Speed pulls back. He shows up with the sawblades and cuts Delila and her teammate’s chop-bits off. Without her weapons, Delila is helpless, and gets knocked out of the race by Speed Racer.

Delila’s Teammate
Starting on the Seventh Row, this dark pink Flying Foxes car dons the number #88. She gets a poor start. In the Muqranna, she takes the right lane and sits back while most of the action begins. While crossing into the Zanubian Desert she can also be seen leading her teammate Delila. In the desert, she attacks Speed Racer. Delila shredded Speed’s tire causing him to lose control, but he came back with a vengeance. After seeing her teammate in trouble, she activates her jump jacks, as well, but Speed jumps out the way before it can be used. Speed comes back with the sawblades and cuts off her and her teammate’s chop-bits. Speed hits her with a spinning attack, knocking car #88 right into the dunes and out of the race.
