eBay Rocket car
Check this one out!.
Great way to liven up a boring weekend w/ the boys after the liquor runs out?!. He has a few jet engines for sale...take your choice!. Love the pic of him saluting...I wonder if the Evel driving suit is fireproof and goes with it as his comment of 'for fire exibition purposes' may be pretty accurate?. What a weapon...who's first?. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/The-Rocke...137192928QQrdZ1 ~ Pete

Re: eBay Rocket car
Wonder how it would do at the Bonniville salt flats?
 Of course, the turn around might be a little dicey.

Re: eBay Rocket car
I don't see how that thing would ever work, especially with the way the front wheel turns! Looks very unstable.

The Cessna'ish tricycle landing gear could be better in reverse as a tail-dragger but neither very safe...better to lose it completely and make a boat out of it?. Again that salute pic is a laugh...looks like he had it on display somewhere?. ~ Pete

Last i heard NHRA banned rocket cars, no way to stop them, very unsafe.

Re: eBay Rocket car
Those wheel pylons would most likely snap off very early in
the run with any turbulence. Way too long to be structurally sound.

Re: eBay Rocket car
"Fun, Fun, Fun"? My first thought is "hospital, hospital, hospital." How would you keep it on the deck? Remember the guy who strapped the sidewinder to the trunk of his Impala a few years back? Wasn't enough left to bury...
I've been to Ft. Smith. Nice place, not a lot to do... JB

Re: eBay Rocket car
with such a sturdy cage, after the wheels snap off they can just shovel the remains into a six foot deep hole.
better rename it "St. Peter's Express"
