In a nutshell, hydrogen-peroxide engines made their incredible power very simply: Nearly pure hydrogen peroxide was fed through a nickel-silver catalyst screen that caused the fuel mix to expand approximately 600 times and was expelled through a 2-inch nozzle on the back of the kart, providing thrust much like air being let out of a balloon. McClure had had enough of the Turbonique engine – the company had pretty much been sued out of business by its customers, according to McClure – but had become interested in the hydrogen-peroxide rocket engine. While seeking help to manufacture an expansion-chamber muffler for a street-course go-kart race, McClure was introduced to local fabricator Glen Blakely, who knew of his dragstrip exploits and tried to encourage him to return to the quarter-mile. Little did he know that those efforts would soon propel him back to the dragstrip and to unheard-of performances.

McClure’s road to glory had taken some turns, including a five-year stint as a stunt driver for Joie Chitwood, and his attention had turned briefly from the dragstrip back to more conventional karting endeavors. When we left off Part 1 on Friday, our hero, a commercial and charter-fishing-boat captain by day, daring go-kart rider by night, had already established himself as the premier thrust-powered go-kart racer – hell, the ONLY thrust-powered go-kart racer – but those early karts, powered by the sometimes troublesome Turbonique engines, were just the beginning. Jack” McClure, whose rocket-powered go-kart made five-second runs at 240 mph, matching the performances of contemporary Top Fuelers with their custom, space-age frames and long wheelbases. Of all the exhibition acts to grace the quarter-mile in the sport’s history, few can match the antics of “Capt. Rotor Size: 13mm TORQUE RED – 3.5T / 4.0T / 4.5T / 5.0T | 13.5mm ULTRA TORQUE YELLOW – 2.Jack McClure went from successful fishing-boat captain to the cover of Drag Racing USA thanks to his unique rocket-powered go-kart. Completely tunable with optional rotors and re-buildable, the new GEN4 Eliminator motor is a premium performance power plant for the serious drag racer. Our motors are hand-wound with high purity copper wire and machined from 6061-T6 aluminum. The new stator is precision stamped and pressed, increasing efficiency and reducing resistance. We put in the design and test time so you can reduce your lap times. The GEN4 motor line is a completely new ground-up design. The GEN4 Eliminator is competition performance with the speed and power you need to gap the competition.
