Daredevil seeks 3000 foot car jump across St Lawrence Seaway

Ken Carter plans a Labor Day weekend attempt in a rocket powered car to leap 3000 feet from Canada to Ogdensburg New York. The 41 year old daredevil has 24 years and 610 jumps in his career and aims to end jumping after this feat. He criticizes Evel Knievel and insists the vehicle gets 52 gallons per mile. He notes a broken left hand from prior stunts and discusses the risk and spectacle with reporters.
