I remember this car going down the track when i was a very young boy. The crowd would count down then, whooooosh...gone.
Sammy actully got killed working on an oil rig, but never will be forgotten.
He was also banned to run at any US traks as he and the car was considered dangerous,hense the record still being at Santa Pod .
Amazing performance!!!
Imagine driving up to Tesco in that!!
i looked into the chemistry behind these cars a while ago..
hydrogen peroxide in a pressurised can- blown through a heated catalyst - produces steam - voila!
build 1 mark ???:):)
I wonder if this would understeer through Brunnchen and then roll?
There is still a rocket bike that runs every now and again, once the mix starts it can't be stopped very quick.
Can't be long before Scoff tries it. :scratch::laugh:Quote:
