Before Dan Caron's "Red Rocket" there was this one.
Try it if you think your Pagoda is too slow!

Alfred:
If you want to duplicate that picture, I have two finbacks stripped and ready for salvage. You can place another rocket on the back and try your own crash tests. (HA HA).
Nice picture . Where did you find that one?
See you in Sept.

I came up with the name '' Red Rocket '' from Sammy Hagar, the Red Rocker. He couldn't '' Drive 55 '' and niether could I.

HaHaHa Dan, you must have a rocket somewhere hidden in your car, how else could you have kept up with me when I made that quick exit from the express lane on our way down to Williamsburg in September 2013

That didn't require great acceleration; it required fantastic brakes!
