The racers that converge at spectacles such as the Boonta Eve Classic bring with them samplings of technology from across the galaxy. Wan Sandage's Podracer had a number of characteristics unique to it, including an almost-insectoid feel to its streamlined designed. Two soaring wings bracket the thin cockpit, which is crested by a large sail-like fin. The small engines have scoop-like curved fairings on them directing air into the turbines. Sandage's winged cockpit was towed behind a pair of scooped Elsinore-Cordova Turbodyne 99-U engines. The racer boasted incredible traction, negating the slippery conditions of treacherous Podrace tracks such as those found on Ando Prime or the Scrapper's Run on Ord Ibanna. Its advanced braking systems gave Sandage an added edge of control. These features failed him at the Boonta Eve Classic, though. Sandage's Podracer was heavily damaged following a third-lap collision with a wayward sandcrawler. The Devlikk was able to piece together his broken vehicle and enter it into the Vinta Harvest Classic a short time later.
