Our name is ACME, so you know we enjoy a good rocket-powered car jump as much as the next company named after a fictional cartoon entity. But this isn’t about any rocket-powered car jump.
No, instead this is about Ken Carter, and later Kenny Powers (no, not THAT Kenny Powers) and their jump from Canada into New York aboard a rocket-powered Lincoln Continental. Carter spent five years and a million dollars preparing for this one mile jump, a much longer distance than Evel Knievel’s failed Snake River Canyon jump. Well, we don’t want to spoil the ending, so we present what one YouTube commenter said, “THIS IS THE GREATEST DOCUMENTARY I HAVE EVER SEEN!”
