The Gopher State Timing Association's 45th Annual Rod & Custom
car spectacular has always been a treat for anyone wild about
power and speed, but this year's event promised to deliver a little
extra helping of raw power.
Ky "ROCKETMAN" Michaelson and his astounding collection of custom
engineered , rocket powered vehicles were the feature attraction
of the weekend.Ky had his rocket powered go-cart, snowmobile,
street luge and yes...the infamous rocket powered "wheelchair"
Ky used the special event to debut his Civilian Space "X"ploration Teams 2001 SpaceShot rocket.The CSXT team came within a whisper of becoming the first civilians
to put a rocket into space last year and they plan on making that
dream a reality this year.
Besides the vehicles, Ky had his rare space artifacts and memorabilia
on display for the first time ever.
