The rocket cars were awesome to watch, especially at night. Had to share this one since it was posted by 👉🏼VeeDub👈Racing: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qhCtOhmEDgo Here's another: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fjwTvp1Wom8 >Rocket cars continued to run at NHRA tracks up through the early eighties. This was many years after the two fatal crashes. They were banned in large part because the concentrated hydrogen peroxide became prohibitively expensive. A shame.... :( >our local track was an 1/8th mile. Never heard of an eighth mile. You'd think out in the sticks, you'd have the space for a quarter mile? And I thought our track was out in the boonies!😄
