Looks like that would give a fun ride but can't imagine turning with that rocket pushing the car along.
Seems like something I recall from the movie "Darwin awards" but beautiful.

A VW was running 9s in 1962 with one of these and smoked a 4 engine dragster!
The Darwin rocket car urban legend was a JATO unit, and may have been real; but no Darwin award, as it was unoccupied.
