League Makes Test Run at Several Hundred Feet
By JOHN SCHWARTZ

OSHKOSH, Wis. ? A small rocket-powered plane streaked across the sky
Tuesday, trailing a bright yellow plume of flame and kicking off what
its sponsors hope will be the next Nascar ? but with its tracks in the
sky.


If NASCAR gets hold of it, they will choose the wrong fuel, and the rockets
will have to be refueled every 500ft.

Of course, just in case the fuel is to explosive, they will do manual
engine cutoffs every OTHER fuel-up, after 250ft
.
