Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

When I was a child we would go to my grandmother’s house (40 years ago approx) and she had these toys that my brother and I loved playing with. I have been looking for them and cannot seem to find them, or anything like them online.

They were long drag racing cars, maybe a foot long. They had a large metal wheel in the middle of them that you would run a plastic “zip-strip” type of pull starter alongside where the metal wheel had a small grooved gear. You would then pull the starter strip as hard as you could and set the car down and watch it haul ass away from you.

Any idea what these were called, or what to search for to find them?
