Wow i saw this one run! Well when i say run actually it spat out turbine blades. Did'nt know it had rocket power too.

They didn't use the rocket, I don't know why they put that on it.
I'm sure I see Sammy run a 5 in this car.

I think it was intended to run for the British Landspeed Record hence the compound jet/rocket setup but for whatever reason it didn't happen.

The plan was to use the peroxide rocket as a booster, an idea recently revived for Richard Nobles new LSR project.

Sams Rocket car nearly burnt the tower down on its first run, then came out again later and ran 5.46 or some similarly outrageous time. At the time it was the 3rd or 4th quickest jet car run in the world, and it seemed like no one noticed.

I knew it was quick but I didn't remember it was that quick, I seen to remember the run to be in the dark.That That Bloodhound project is incredible.

You don't need 6 lottery numbers for the car "Spirit of 76" Rocket powered Mustang 2 it didn't sell . It is in need of a repaint at the very least because somehow it got oversprayed as Chicago Patrol (e-bay photo shows original paint underneath!). It doesn't have the same meaning to us brits as "Vanishing Point" did,I wonder what will happen to it?
