Its a Turbonique Go Kart.

I think that is the one that was owned by Jack McClure.

Here is a pic of him racing Tommy Ivo.

Troy McClure - I remember him from such public service announcements as "Get Confident, Stupid!" and "Smoke Yourself Thin".

This Go-Kart, on the other hand, is indeed Jack McClure's Go-Kart, powered by twin Turbonique t-16 jets. This car used 400 lbs of thrust to go 152 MPH in the quarter mile. .

Hmmm, it must take a certain something to go 150+ mph totally unprotected.




Insanity perhaps?
