Re: Jack McClure Rocket Kart History and....

Just finished talking to Brian. It's not an original rocket kart but the engines and tanks were the real deal. He put a lot of time into the project and had it at Brodhead and Quincy to show. He never fueled it up or tried to start the rockets. He talked to Jack early in the project and found that if you press the solenoid (gas pedal) to ignite the engines and decide that you might want to slow down or get (chicken) and let up you must not push the pedal again or the engines would explode.
The kart is still in the twin cities area hanging on a wall for display.
Fun project, Dick
