Rocket Bike Opinion

I've seen them all and yes a Rocket "anything" is impressive. I think for most "Drag Racers" after a couple run's you would much rather see a Top Fuel Harley make one of those three wheel runs instead. With the burn out and the launch from the line into an immediately “on the wheelie bars” and run over 200 MPH has got to be more impressive than any hissing Jet Bike run. Why not the Jet Bike builders stick to building something to race against some class that is already sanctioned to run instead of something that they know they will have a hard time getting on a Drag Strip. I think Dixon’s great runs and Larry's poor timing and judgment put an end to the Rocket Scene. And from what I’ve been reading there seems to be a question on fuel for the engine. And for the ones that are interested in building a rocket bike. I’m sure they would impress most spectators but before they get to far make sure you already have some drag strips that would allow you to run and any two could probably put on some exciting match races. I still believe that a engine must have the appearance of a factory build engine, can be called a Factory Build Name or they are in a class by them selves and aren’t eligible to race against class already established.
