Default Captain Jack McClure—a fearless drag racer in his 90s

A truly special, one-week-only film event now showing at The Old Mill Playhouse in Lake Sumter Landing.

It tells the incredible true story of the legend Captain Jack McClure—a fearless drag racer in his 90s—who returns to the track with his original rocket-powered go-kart, reviving the same hydrogen peroxide machine he raced over 50 years ago.

The documentary follows Jack and the Rocketboys as they defy age and gravity, with narration by Brian Lohnes and a special appearance from “Big Daddy” Don Garlits from Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing.

Directed by Emmy Award–winning filmmaker and local legend Krystal Alexandria , this is more than a film—it’s an unforgettable live experience that’s already inspiring audiences of all ages.

It’s a powerful, feel-good and inspiring true story of speed, passion, and defying age is only in theaters for one week.

We’ll have to check it out. Reminds me a bit of The Last Indian with Anthony Hopkins.

Default Movie times

Find URL for Old Mill Playhouse; it will give you all movies and times. Saw EPIC, Elvis Presley In Concert. Well worth it. Very insightful and you’ll love the music if you loved Elvis back when.
