Drag race betwixt me Red Max and t' Daughter's Pink Max.  Both motors lit right away, me bucko, t' Pink Max was t' clear winner off t' pad.  Red max arced into t' wind durin' boost, over t' top and headin' down at ejection.  T' ejection charge separated t' nose cone, but t' chute/protector bundle lodged in t' BT and never deployed.  Rocket tumble recovered on t' field with no damage.
