SST Racers. They were awesome.

Well, "SSP Racers" but yeah, that was them. I had a "Two Much” model that was purple. Loved that thing! It would flat out fly - especially when Dad pulled the zipcord on it!

I was trying to remember what happened to mine and I just now remembered. I got it revved up and put it next to my sister’s head so she could hear it whine. Her hair got caught up in the spinning wheel and she rightfully had a fit! Needless to say, the toy was gone within minutes, never to be seen again.

Yeah, that was only like. . . fifty-one years ago.
