So, I've got the brisket on the smoker which is on cruise control at the moment, and something totally random came to me: Who or what was the story behind Vulcan rocket motors? My first exposure to Vulcan was a chance encounter with High Power Rocketry Magazine, the Fall 1993 edition seen here: https://www.buyrocketmotors.com/blog/the-magazine-that-started-it-all/. During that time I read about the L750 Smoky Sams and some H100 Smoky Sams (did i get that right?). I believe they also had a "Hellfire" propellant type as well. They were all single use if I'm not mistaking. I got a chance to see only a handful fly and regret I never had the opportunity to pick any up and try out, or collect for that matter.
Anyhow, these guys are long gone now but I don't know a great deal about them such as who they were, how broad their motor offerings were beyond the motors shown above, why they stopped, etc. I seem to recall they were out of Colorado but I could be completely mistaken there... Anybody have the lowdown?
