Back in 77 I worked at a place that did upgrades? to cars. One morning there is a wierd looking car parked in the shop, on a trailer, painted red white and blue. WTF is this thing, and why is it here. Boss says it belongs to a friend of his, and the plan is it will jump the St Lawrence seaway, maybe. Now why would anyone do this. Evil Knevil had done his attempt of the Snake river and this was a way of going one up on that. Anyway, it didn’t go that year, for what ever reason, and I had forgotten about it until last Wednesday, when we got to talking about knevil and his jumping with motorbikes, and then rocket cars. I can’t find anything about the car I saw in 1977, but this comes up on utube, and I believe it is the same group of people, or maybe idiots. https://youtu.be/Zrks7wztUWw?si=j3wmeRcI_LkVV1J2
