Tragedy came while attempting to make a world record ramp to ramp jump in a rocket-powered rocket-powered Firebird at Westgate Speedway on Labour Day weekend. Ken had become a close friend of the family and we never dreamed anything like this could happen. What a sad way to end an unforgettable summer! A victory could have given him the publicity hé longed for. Ken Carter first came to our home in early summer, where many hours were spent listening listening to Ken tell stories about his very unusual and daring career. We talked with Ken every week during the summer and he returned to our home several times. Once he drove his rocket car here so we could take pictures. Ken had made over 600 jumps and plans were in the making for his next stunt. He set a world record jump of 185 feet last year and he was trying for 200 feet. He has been on an episode of "That's Incredible", Incredible", also a movie entitled entitled "Devil at your Heels" won the documentary award of the year. Ken spent many years in the States where he made it big doing stunts for such movies as "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper." But T am a Canadian' he said and will perform the rest of my stunts in Canada. When the shock of this tragedy fades we will have our memories and our pictures to remind us that indeed Ken Carter was here. - Ben and Betty Ange and family.
