Oregon Top Dragster racer Rich Bailey has turned lemons into lemonade after his recent crash in Seattle by acquiring the “Rocketeer” blown alcohol dragster. Built in 2001, the seldom seen Rocketeer car was designed around the popular Disney movie of the same name. When the car was debuted it landed in several magazines and was featured in the PPG calendar. Since then the car has been idle but maintained to its original condition.
Bailey sees the Rocketeer car as more than just a replacement car but an opportunity to provide his sponsors and the sport more exposure. “The Rocketeer car is a great find and has everything we need to get back on the track and more. Besides being in top condition in every respect, the Rocketeer’s unique design is in a class of its own and will benefit our marketing partners in everything that we do both on and off the track.” Bailey said.
Bailey plans to continue the car’s original movie theme while accommodating his major sponsor, Capitol Auto Group. Mark Adams of Supervinyl Signs will vinyl wrap the car which will protect its original design while keeping Capitol Auto Group’s identity predominately on the car.
If all goes as planned the car will debut at Bailey's "Night of Fire" benefit car show, Friday night, June 1 in Salem Oregon.
