1:10 Firebird Rocket Funny Car that really works!

[Hammerdown]

Using a Parma 1:10 scale Firebird F/C body I built a chassis on free wheeling axles, built a hobby rocket engine mount and fire this baby down the street on a guide line. When the engine "backfires" twin chutes are deployed to bring it to a halt. On the first run, one chute deployed before the other which upset the aerodynamics and flipped the car at full speed and it skidded to a stop on it's roof. I'll post a video of that run, which I'd estimate the top end was 60 MPH.
