Shuuta Slingshot
[Pod racers are found in the Force and Destiny book Endless Vigil on p.53-60. Includes modifications. Additional information is from Michael Duxbury's "Force and Destiny Minigame: Podracing" post on the internet.]
This decrepit pod racer is little more than a seat cabled to two engines. It was once own by Sparks McGee before his untimely death from a run in with a Hutt debt collector. He was a big name at the time but has since faded into obscurity. Trenon Brask won the Slingshot from a descendant of Sparks in a game of Tatooine Hold'Em. It currently collects dust in his warehouse at Boss Brask's Cantina on Tatooine.
It is a CR-17 Incendia III chassis with some minor modifications.
It is blue and beige with dark brown accents and sports its name and the name of Sparks McGee on its side.
