Ever hear of Turboniques? Literally a functional turbine seperate of the engine, giving upwards of a 1,300HP boost directly to the rear axle #BlogPost

Liquid fuel rocket tubine, designed for production cars. These were basically NOS back in the ‘60s, except that additional power was put directly through the axle instead of starting in the engine. These turbines revved to 60,000 rpm with PSIs exceeding 600. These devices were powered by...

Could you imagine traveling 240mph on that itty bitty go-cart? That's insane.

Sometimes posting on here with my Android phone is completely hopeless. The next post is my second attempt at using the phone, again hopeless. Now I'm trying to tidy up the mess using my laptop and I see that we can't delete our own posts. Sorry about that Wild one.

If a moderator would be kind enough, please delete this post entirely. TIA

I'd like to know what looney bin they got the guy from,that was nuts enough to ride it,lol. There's pics of a go-cart floating around with 2 of these bombs strapped to the rear axle,but i don't know if they ever found anybody crazy enough to ride it,lol.If one was good for 240 mph,i wonder how fast a go-cart would go with 2 strapped to to it's rear axle,

.Just imagine being in your Top Fueler watching it pass you in the 1/4 :Big Laugh:

Craziest thing that i ever heard of was some people crazy enough to strap 2 JATO Bottles to a vehicle

4 JATO bottles will lift a military cargo plane
