USPS - Rocket Man (Jack McClure) - Scott Elkes - 02-19-2017
My Facebook share from May 3, 2016.
I received a surprise in the mail (USPS) today. It was from Jack McClure, aka "The Rocket Man."
I first became aware of Jack W McClure, as a kid reading a 'Karting World' magazine story about his four West Bend 820 engines powered kart.
Some months later on the cover of 'Karting World' there was Jack with his first rocket-powered 1963 Dart Grand Prix kart! I raced a 1963 Dart Grand Prix and thought that was really awesome.
