Tim Pickens uses an asphalt-nitrous combination for both his rocket bike, and his rocket truck. Earlier, he had an igniter failure on the rocket bike. Just a few minutes ago, he was demonstrating the rocket truck (it’s in the bed of his Chevy, pointing–no surprise–backwards). He has it chocked for a static engine firing–for some strange reason, he can’t get insurance to actually propel it. This time, the igniter ignited, but there didn’t seem to be any oxidizer flow. It may be a failure of a temperature sensor that allows the valve to open.

So he’s 0 for 2 today.
