Default A rocket that looks like a top fuel dragster.

Just a goofy idea of mine.

It's cool, but I'm thinkin' we need to see more flying TOILETS, URINALS (with a deuce in them), and OUTHOUSES than cars.
SEWAGE-themed is ALWAYS a hit.

Didn't Estes already do the dragster thing? Seems to me I saw a bunch of them on the cover of an old MRN. Maybe back when they were doing land rockets?

The ORIGINAL Estes cars were called "Land Rockets", powered by an R-12 Freon rocket motor . . . Until I converted them for BP motors . . . MUWAHAHAHAHA !

Back in 1976, I scratch-built an FSI F-7 "Steam Machine" ( 9 - second burn ) dragster . . . WOO-HOO ! ! !
