I still do not know if a Hydrogen peroxide rocket would be allowed to run at a RWYB. I think Santa Pod would not allow it due to the possibility of peroxide getting on to the track surface.frown:

They have done in the past I believe, with a car called vanishing point. I saw it go, something like a 3.5s ET. Back in the 70's.

For what it's worth,. A few years we showed up a R.W.Y.B event with an ex TMD in Super Pro guise. Got stopped at the gate and told that we should have booked to let them know we were coming. Seems the problem was insufficent medical/emergence cover.
I imagine your guy would get told the same thing. oh and they let us runwhistle

Whatever colour suit he's wearing, I don't think you need to be concerned about his sexuality. Anyone who's prepared to strap himself onto the front of a rocket must have knackers like coconuts!

Some may think so.But if you can get to see the documentary "The Devil at your heels" it appears that people without any experience of rocket cars can strap themselves in and do 250mph no problem.A well known journalist did it in Millers car. scratchchin

Anyone could bungee off a crane without any experience but it doesn't mean I would.
