Yea, It was fun. A 20' piece of 4" pvc sched. 40 pipe. A  4x4x2" T on the end

                  -->  vacuum is hooked in here

 clear plug--> 4"    4"   <----vehicle travels here -----------------------
              ---------------------------------------------------------------

I put a video camera looking through the clear plug and displayed it on TV.

Basically, a light weight vehicle that seals the cylinder works best. Never
 had an egg "passenger" break inside. They drop them on the floor :-)

I also hooked up Science Toolkit to check speed of vehicle
