Looks like you bought one of the Jeff Taylor cases... although the Graphite nozzle cracks and it turns into static hole, it certainly will yield a nice pyrotechnic demonstration! What Jack has here is the smaller (L) case (72") - Q15000, the full Kimball XL motor (6G) is a Q17000, over 8' tall (and doesn't use a graphite nozzle). Drag race sounds like fun, but you would need to buy a Kimball motor to make it real. Let's do that next year...
