Space Age Racing

Think back to the dawning of the space age, to man's quest for walking on the moon, experiencing G forces never before dreamed of and race cars traveling at speeds never thought imaginable on drag strips throughout the country, now you've entered the world of hydrogen peroxide rocket-car racing. The cars turned into land-locked missiles and gave new meaning to the term "land speed record". I say this because when you think of speeds of over 325mph you immediately think of the Bonneville Salt Flats. These cars brought their speeds to drag strips in just about every state in the USA. I was fortunate enough to work side by side with those modern day gladiators who pushed their own human limits as they burst onto the scene in these wondrous missile-like vehicles. It was my era and I dove into it with all my heart, soul and sweat, hoping, along with everyone else, to achieve goals and records never thought possible. I was witness to the thousands upon thousands of spectators all over the globe who became thrilled, amazed and educated as they embraced the new sport of rocket car racing. My cars set 70 State, National, and International records, that I am proud to say, that most of the records we set have not been broken after 30 years.
