Comments: Ahhh... the classic suspension on a string set up...  that's the way to do it.

While we all may live in different places, and have our own favorite era of racing, I can guarantee that those of us over age 40 at one time or another sat on some kind of land/speed creation with the rope held firmly in each hand, while our buddies pushed us down the street or over the hill! 

Now to me, the center of gravity looks a little high on the rocket #2, but why listen to me when you've got Frankie Schneider around!

Great original family photo that reminds us all of a different time.
