Event Coverage
Freezing temperatures stops the Trinidad Rocket in Ohio
Weather conditions were extremely harsh with ambient temperatures at roughly 30-40˚F which is great for building power for the engine but not so good for traction. This was evident in the few practice runs where trying to get the car to hook was seemingly impossible with the Rocket’s supercharged, methanol-powered engine.
For 2010, Sheldon has won all five International events entered so far in the United States and has set the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) Top Dragster World Record in a ¼ mile time of 5.78 seconds at 242MPH.
Sheldon Bissessar and PTRT would like to thank their sponsors Methanex, Total Lubricants, VP Racing Fuels and PSTL for their support.
