Bob Motz vs. Kent Shockley Jet Semi Truck Drag Race

The only side by side jet semi truck race in history! Bob Motz Jet Kenworth (black truck on the right hand side of the screen, left lane) vs. Kent Shockley driving Les Shockley's ShockWave Jet Peterbuilt (yellow truck left hand side of the screen). Bob Motz takes the win on the 1/8 mile with a small margin of victory. This is the only time these trucks will ever race, and they were never allowed to race before due to insurance reasons, and concerns over their large parachutes becoming tangled. Filmed at the former Norwalk Raceway Park, IHRA World Nationals, August 24, 2002. Video Copyright John Schaser and JohnSchaser.com
