Hi Glen,

Yes that is us :) We have been working on the dragsters for a while but we have flown vertical water rockets as well. We did the water rocket dragster as a science project for my son at his school, it was safer than a vertical water rocket. we have been working on them ever since :)

Good luck with your water rockets :)
