    Default O Motor Rocket Drag Race !

    Years back I was into HPR and got up to cert 2 certification . I never did my cert 3 do to lack of money and of course laziness. But if I did have the money and determination I could have made one of these baby's !! Enjoy !!

    That looks like a blast! Literally! One day I'll get around to building a liquid fuel rocket motor. I've always wanted to do that.

    One of my favorites... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqrdXyiDxYA

    Almost bought a turbonique rocket motor on ebay many years ago. Could have picked it up for $100 but I forgot to bid.

    This has to be the most impressive bit of amateur rocketry i've ever seen.

    I am sure the UK guys have seen this, but its probably new to the chaps across the pond.

    That is some funny shit right there!

    "How are you going to use it again?" Priceless.

    Though they had to spend a ton of money building that rig. I guess the show has some very rich sponsors!

    Wow, that is some impressive stuff! Normally rockets and TV don't mix well at all. Mythbusters, smash lab, etc. They all fail brutally. Apart from the fuel tank not separating that thing actually worked! I'm amazed and inspired!

    One of my colleagues is working on a new rocket fuel. Maybe it's time build some rockets.
