programme notes from the ME say he's already sold the jet, other than that i know nothing. What are the rules on running a rocket car anyway, surely he'd be restricted to what events he could run ?

...then scroll down a short way.

Note the last sentence. When Ian has anything to tell, he'll tell, but bear in mind that having sold the Jet Dragster turn-key he now does not have a chassis in which to put the rocket.

Hi RocketHeads !
At the Main Event, I talked to Eric Teboul´s brother Bobby Feeler,
he was the one with the "Budweiser" Viper parked in the TFB pits.
His old website could not be updated anymore,
as the server (and operator, R.I.P.) was located in the WTC towers.
Now he has v2.perrotfeeler.com updated and there are lots of pics and videos.
The "Satanic Machine" was stolen and never found again ,
so Bobby built another rocket FC with the engine left from Sammy Miller,
that once was mounted on the jet dragster also belonging to team PFR.
(Look for "Propriano 96" in the foto section for Sammy)
More powerful and lighter than Satanique Machine,
Bobby now is as fast as his mentor and idol Sammy, 620 Km/h,
even with "only 70%" hydrogen peroxide.
This pic was shot at about 500, the track was "a little bumpy", Bobby said.

(scroll down, first pic top right)
The car is sold to another young french driver,
as Bobby plans to move to the US.
Regards,
Benni
