Good Ole Jet power!!

Nope not Jet.

This is a rocket. Rockets are banned by the NHRA.

This ones my favorite. Vanishing Point. 30,000 HP and goes through 30 liters of hydrogen peroxide per second.

For thoes of you that dont know the diff between a rocket and a jet.A jet engine sucks in oxygen from an external oxygen source(Air) and combusts it with fuel carried in a tank. A rocket engine carries both fuel and oxygen in separate supply tanks and does not require an external oxygen source.

Should have posted that from the beginning. That thing is epic.

[chris13]

yea man the truck is sick and from what theyve already been running, if thats really the awd record, theyve demolished it

John Shepherd is the current AWD record holder. I had the priveledge of sitting next to him in New York in 06. My car was hurt so I tripped the beams for points and watched him thunder down the quarter mile. Here is one of his timeslips(right lane)



Here is a launch pic:

[Evil Goat]

and it's a 91' not a '92

[JJSPEC Racing]

And if you look at the ticket, you will realize the importance of leaving on time. John lost to a slower car due to the "hole shot".

[chris13]

right on, i appreciate all the input

I had the privilege of meeting him in Montgomery, Stand up guy for sure.

I would assume because it is essentially a bomb going down the track.

Rockets are not like jets, once they are fired up that is it, the thing goes till it runs out of gas or explodes, too many factors in there for danger.

Good thing it was a qualifying round lol

Yep! Good eye. Red light doent matter in Qual.

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.

The difference is that John originally built that car for under $10K and used to drive it to work (yes, I knew him). Hell, I had seen that car out in 12 inches of snow before.

[imprtguy_94]

Didn't John Shepard run the fastest awd time

yes he did. unless you count the rwd worlds fastest eclipse with the 4g motor running 86lbs of boost @ 11,000rpm and running 6.97's lol.

You are thinking of solid rockets specifically. Liquid fueled rockets, like the ones used in all the drag cars I've ever seen, can be turned off at any time, simply shut off the fuel like any other combustion device. That's why they use them, would be pretty dumb to use something you can't shut off.
