What an odd little, figureless, (drag?) racer. Still cute though.
I feel like it’s missing something kind of important

Seatbelt
Looks very lonely without a minifigure.
It's red
It's a car
And by golly is it gonna race
This will serve better as a parts pack than a racer.
Looks like a souped up lawnmower
Good thing those guardrails are there. Wouldn't want the auto-steering to get hurt.
Lets see it race the dragster from yesterday!
My brother had this. I'm not sure why.
Regarding the missing minifig: maybe you could take one of those firemen in that minifig pack from the other day?
Sure is
Looks a lot lot like https://brickset.com/sets/6510-1/Mud-Runner :-)

Same year, probably same designer. Wonder if all the cars from that year looked like this.

Nailed it!
Nice use of the horse-and-cart poles??
I’m shocked at the flimsiness of the spoiler design... I’ve never seen LEGO-approved sets with 1x2 tiles (and vents, at that!) held on by only one stud!
Best. Set. Ever.

Yeah, you'd think they would've used a 1 x 4 tile or something, at least.
Not terrible and a better color scheme than the similar 6510. A couple tweaks would make it a good small set.
21 pieces, huh? I’m looking at it and trying to count, and keep coming up about 8-10 pieces short.
Dlrohrer2003 - And then we could have a long and heated discussion about what kind of helmet he should wear - trust me, I have a BIG can of worms ready for that :-)
Reminds me of some clone brands I've seen in dollar bins, as those sets are often 20-30 pieces with no minifig. This set just seems odd without it.
