Also the SMI Motivator / Budweiser Rocket Car
Claimed to have reached Mach 1 but not officially recognised.
I remember seeing the video as a kid - I think he gets to about 600mph on the main motor and then lights up a Sidewinder rocket motor - alas the camera is at a distance and poor quality by today's standards but it was awesome at the time. The driver said that starting the Sidewinder motor felt like being hit on the back the head with a baseball bat!
