Puzzle Description:

a race car.

Solvable with only logic.

Some deep edge logic on the 4 in c20 will keep this going.

If it were to go down to r7, the 3 in r7 would become the 1 clues in c18-19. That would force the 20 in r5 to become part of the 2 clues in each of those columns, forcing a 2 in r4. Since there is no 2 in r4, r7c20 must be white.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

That was a bit trickier than usual, but I finally got it.

Fantastic puzzle, Tom. Tricky and fun to solve. I like how the image came together at the end.

I guess I must have gotten lucky because I didn't have any dificulty with this puzzle. I like the image being a partial. It made it more difficult to see.

ditto #7. had several ideas what it might be while I was doing it but I never guessed the right one. really fun to find out what it turned out to be.

That chassis is WAY too high off the ground! This must be some sort of novelty race, like World's Fastest Buick. :)
