74 Year Old Gearhead Pilots this 540 Big Block Alky Injected 1930 Chevy
If one were to look around the landscape of drag racing, they might assume that the sport is reserved for those who are young but let us tell you, that instead, that you only have to be young at heart to qualify for one of our favorite competitive sports in the world.
For Joe Tucci, he isn’t spending his days of retirement lounging around on a beach or vacationing somewhere else in the world. Instead, Joe finds himself behind the wheel of a drag racing machine and this thing isn’t necessarily dialed down, either!
When you hear this alcohol injected 500 cubic inch big block fire up under the hood of a 1930 Chevrolet, you can tell that this machine isn’t going to be a slouch! When the ride hits the strip, the numbers don’t lie, either, as the intense sounding beast is able to rocket to a nine-second quarter mile pass, lifting off of the accelerator before even getting to the finish line.
Ride along with Joe and his bad machine down in the video below from the Victory Red Colorado YouTube channel that outlines the experiences of one man who has seen nearly three-quarters of a century on this earth and still has high octane flowing through his veins as if the experience was brand-new.
