Here is the completed Mini Cooper rocket car. The name of this Discovery Channel "Master Blasters" episode was "Rocket Car Football." The mission of this episode was to convert a Mini Cooper car to a rocket car capable of launching off a ramp through football uprights and score a field goal. On both sides of the car is one Cessaroni 225 rocket motor. The football dummy on top was part of a rocket
A close up of the front of the car. the motor/transmission was removed and we welded on rocket motor supports (the long tube hooked to the U shaped tube). We were also given a "N" rocket motor we put pointing out the back of the trunk.

Here is Team Rocketman's Mini Cooper launching off the ramp.
