SOMETHING DIFFERENT .... Rocket Kart

[Jon Lundberg]

One of the more unusual vehicles to travel drag racing's quarter-mile was Captain Jack McClure's rocket-powered Go Kart. For "the day" it was badass fast.

Enthusiast Keith Lee recorded this pass at Orange County in 1973. Turn-up the sound and enjoy!

Disappointing? Really?

I'm pretty sure that's the only known audio of that thing going down a race track. Pretty freaking cool in my book.

I guess I'm going into announcer mode and paying more attention to Jon's call than what McClure's kart is doing.

Further proof that I'm a werido.

Awesome, Jon. That had to be quite a sight. Full-size jet cars are almost boring sometimes, but that had to be insane.
