The catapult would probably rip the car in half.

That yoke apparatus on the shuttle is impressive.
Remember when they used to buy used cars and shoot them off the cat just for fun?

That picture revives a sound in my old brain that was drilled into the head of every kid listening to AM radio in 1960's NE Ohio.

Ha, that’s nothing. We used to drag race the aircraft towers and starter jeeps on the flight deck of the USS Princeton (LPH-5, ex CV-37). Both had governors, but we managed to disable them.
The towers were full cast iron and lumbered along, while the starter jeeps had three wheels (rear one rotated 360 degrees).
And to the NSA trolls, FU.

Hahahahaha...the dragster will beat the old SLUF off of the flight deck...:)
Nowadays, you would have some liberal harpy complaining about a misuse of governmental and military resources for the photo op...
Screw all of them.

Don "Big Daddy" Garlits was born in Tampa, Florida. He is 81 years old now and, along with his wife, Pat, owns and operates The Don Garlits Racing Museum in Ocala, Florida.
In 1994 he was the Republican nominee for Congress in Florida's 5th Congressional District. A conservative, he was defeated by the Dem candidate, Karen Thurman.
In the estimation of many, his colorful and controversial "down-home" tongue did him in. He supported Ron Paul for president in 2008.

My 2 older brothers were in the Navy at the time, and the whole family was drag racers.
I had a huge poster of this on my wall as a kid!
