This dragster Odessey was a Turbonique rocket turbine that was raced in the day. The dragster went fast enough the problem was it kept burning up the turbine blades. http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/g...8/Dragster.jpg

Its a very good friend of mine who owns it I talk to him just about every day, it is still there and he will not sell it.

Re: Has anyone ever heard of Turbonique?
 

Hello,

I am looking to reproduce the turbonique engines and no plans exist for the turbonique drag-axle,
(as far as I know)
so I am looking for someone who has one and would be willing to lease it to me so I could reverse engineer the design.

Any leads would be welcomed.
