While we were away from home, at some point we got the rule book in the snail mail for the new ECTA. I haven't read through it but for a few pages yet. But I'm looking for what I want to see. I need some facts. That'll take a while, but it's leisure reading. We're retired. We now have time to sit and read a whole spiral-bound book, and I for sure will. When I get caught up on chores around the house. And we will be sure we will comply with all of the rules before we even go there, and we're going.
What I'm looking for...I have picked up on a rumor that Morton Thiokol has one leftover solid rocket booster that was intended for the space shuttle. It can be had for cheap. But it's undetermined if that propellant can go bad over time, and I'm willing to take the risk on proper functionality.
We can attach that booster to Bubba the Truck with duct tape and baling wire and light it, and see what he'll do at The Mile. I'm sure Turk and the Team will approve it during inspection, and I've already got a fire suit, per the rules.... This will be epic fun.
