What was this motor in? Not sure how that would work in a rocket frame? Is this configuration for the streamliner?

I bugged Bob for three or four years, in the end he said it was too much trouble, he wouldn't do another one.

Confession time, I just read those numbers and had a flash back to the 1/4 mile from my youth. One question: How does one launch this monster? (I felt a little bit of butterflies thinking about it...)

Impressive numbers. I would like to try a launch on a drag strip.
