Just wondering if anyone managed to get any pictures or video of my toy rocket car running at the Gathering?
I was trying to steer it, and failing, so I didn't get a chance

It fired itself at a photographer, at roughly 340,500mph. It is not worth speaking to him...
...if he's still alive.

Chris Tonylanciabeta (still alive) has posted his pics in the gathering section but it might be worth an ask The three pics I got were just as the car rockets were lit and the 0.2 secs later the smoke trails cos the car had moved out of shot and then one with it on it's roof on the bank...... It didn't so much as drive up it more like the merc did at Le Mans a few years back - got some air uinderneath it and went skywards Was definately the quickest thing on track that day ;D |

...And some fins on the back to keep it in a straight line.
Perhaps you could rig up the ejection charges to fine a parachute out of it too.

Tony was too busy trying to preserve his own life to get pictures ;D
It launched upwards when I tried to turn it, most likely because it ripped the tyres off the rims ;D
It will be back, bigger, badder, faster, madder
