Captain Jack McClure, a daredevil, drag racer, and exhibitionist, decides his golden years should come with a few more gutsy adventures. Less than two inches off the ground, ninety plus year old Captain Jack, along with the Rocketboys, defy death by bringing back the very same hydrogen peroxide rocket go-kart he race fifty years ago. With narration by NHRA announcer Brian Lohnes and a special appearance from "Big Daddy" Don Garlits himself, Captain Jack and His Rocket Powered Go-Kart is a thrill ride that questions just how much life can fit in the eighth mile.
