Command-Aire built one little Rocket Racer. The Rocket was built to compete in the 1930 All American Derby. Equipped with a super-charged 90 hp Cirrus and Lee Gelbach at the controls, running a race course that spanned most of Mid-America, the little Rocket repeatedly recorded ground speeds of 215 mph, its average point-to-point time being in the neighbourhood of 160 mph. The aircraft won the 5,500 mile race and $15,000 prize (a fortune in the depression) with an average speed on 127mph.
The Rocket no longer exists, but Joe Armaldi in Florida built a replica of the racer.
