This 83 Year Old Still Races Jet Drag Trucks
Bob Motz is one of the most legendary drag racers in existence, as the driver of an amazing jet truck. At 83 years old, he is still making quarter mile passes over 200mph and firing up race fans at drag strips around America!
Watch him make runs at the Snowbird Nationals at Bradenton Motorsports Park (next door to the Cleetus McFarland Freedom Factory), including the fire show and acceleration. If you watch closely you can see people behind the truck run away when the fire show begins, and watch on the GoPro footage from behind the start line how the jet blows away the smoke!
Unlike the Shockwave jet truck, this one only has one engine. But the chassis is lighter, which means it has run deep into the sixes at over 230mph (before the NHRA instituted a speed limit for the jet trucks).
Reports about Motz's age vary. The Newark Advocate reported him as being 79 years old in 2017, while a race track promoted him as being 89 years old in 2020!
Many people know Bob from burning down the sign at Summit Motorsports Park for the Night of Fire. His shows are world famous.
So what do you think about this jet truck versus the Top Fuel dragsters and nitro funny cars, or blown drag cars? Let me know in the comments!
