    i copied this straight off of youtube:
    Apparently the reason these cars are not running any more is because the tracks cannot get public liability insurance to allow them to run. The G-Forces applied to the driver were causing them to lose consciousness. Vanishing Point did have an issue with obtaining 90% Hydrogen Peroxide fuel but I believe it was overcome. Tragically Sammy Miller was killed a few years ago in a workplace accident. He was a super guy and the real driving force behind the rocket cars at Santa Pod,UK. RIP Sammy.

    And he would bleed from his nose and ears after every run.
