Michael: That 215 mph GoKart was owned and "driven" by Captain Jack McClure. It was powered by a ROCKET engine built by Orville Porter. It was sponsored by Amalie oil and used special grease to keep
             the wheel bearings alive at very high rpm's (remember GoKarts only have about 8" diameter wheels)   Captain Jack had a parachute on his back and was held in the seat with Velcro.  :eek:  My hero.   LSL
