Since we used to do stupid stuff like that...( I remember rocket motors made from CO2 cartridges and gunpowder....they made great high speed metal splinters! ) smart people started Estes Rockets & make prepackaged solid fuel engines...and the sport is so much safer now. ( as safe as any thing involving stuff going 200mph ) A muffler, gasoline & gunpowder? He's lucky to be alive. | ||

"At some point during the ride, the device exploded," McCabe said." ... Ah.. Yeah, at the point when the lit fuse met the Gas and Gunpowder.  | ||

That is what I was thinking too Jim2. As Bill Engvall would say "Here's your sign" | ||
