My Rocket-Propelled Life and High-Octane Creations 
This is a very informal book soon to
be released on DVD based upon my personal recollection
of an evolution thattook the racing world by storm,
and raised the bar for top fuel dragsters, the reigning
kings of breakneck speeds. Think back to the dawning
of the space age, to mans quest for walking on the moon,
experiencing G forces never before dreamed of, and racecars
traveling at speeds never thought imaginable on drag
strips throughout the country and 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 300 mph, you immediately
think of the Bonneville Salt Flats, but these cars brought
these speeds to drag strips 30 years ago to 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.
Hopping 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 trilled, and amazed and
educated as they embraced the new sport of rocket car
racing.
Though this phenomenon only lasted about 10 years, most
track and state land speed records achieved during this
era still stand today some 30 years later. It was a
time of spills, chills, victories, defeats and oftentimes
tragedy, it’s a part of American racing history
I feel the need to share in my own words…and as
I experienced it, and remember it. There are over 150
photos, ads, and illustrations. Plus photos of other
exotic rocket powered vehicles.
