How fast do the Rocket Racers go?
The speed of the Rocket Racer is limited by the airframe, not the engine. The current Mark-II and Mark-III designs are limited to 300 miles per hour. The engines burn liquid oxygen (LOX) and ethanol, producing a maximum of 2,500 pounds of thrust emitting a brightly, colored, 10-15 foot long flame and roar heard and felt for miles around.
