Dragon's Fyre Jet Truck

Dragon's Fyre Jet Truck Drag Racing/exhibition The Dragon's Fyre Jet Truck is a 1940 Ford pick-up truck powered by a General Electric J-85 turbojet engine with afterburner.

Built specifically for this application, this is truly a one-of-a-kind vehicle. It was built by owner/driver David Modder between the Fall of 2010 and the Spring of 2011. Dave has 21 years experience driving jet powered dragsters, and now this truck, with a 100% completion rate and zero incident record. The Jet truck made its maiden run at the EAA Airventure and had since been running at 1/4 mile

& 1/8 mile race tracks around the Midwest, Southern states & Canada. We are partnered with the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation for whom we raise funds with a fill the boot campaign at the events we are part of. The Dragon’s Fyre also participates in organized air shows, static displays and charity car shows. For booking or sponsorship information contact us on Facebook or visit our website and drop an email www.dragonsfyrejettruck.com
Hope to see you soon at the races!!!!!!!!

This is a must see event for the entire family. June 27 don’t miss it!

Today is Memorial Day.
Not just a Monday.
Not just the unofficial start of summer.
Not just cookouts, lake days, and red white and blue paper plates.

Today is for the people
who left home one ordinary morning
and never came back.

It is for the mother
who still keeps his medals in the top drawer.

For the wife
who still reaches across the bed sometimes
out of habit.

For the little boy
who only knows his father
through photographs and folded flags.

Today is for the names carved into stone.
For boots that stopped walking.
For futures that were handed over
so ours could keep going.

And maybe that is the hardest part of Memorial Day.

Realizing your ordinary life
was once somebody’s sacrifice.

The laughter in your backyard.
The sound of your children safe inside the house.
The freedom to wake up slowly
and decide what kind of life you want to live.

Somebody gave up everything for that.

So today,
before the burgers hit the grill
and the fireworks light the sky,
may we stop long enough to remember:

freedom has always been expensive.
And somebody else paid the bill.

Thank you Dan VanDaalwyk and Wisconsin International Raceway for a great afternoon of testing and hospitality. Just some mini fire and minimized power to test. Always a pleasant time at WIR!
Truck was on point... driver.... not so much! 😂😂😂 According to this RT, on the green he made a plate of nachos, had a cup of coffee and took a quick cat nap!!!! 🫩🥱😴..
Seriously though, a bit of a slide through the beam setting off both bulbs but the truck wasn't good to go yet on green so had to let it get to the right temp and %... hence the 11 reaction. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Looking forward to being back for The Jet Car Nationals!!!!! Check WIR's Summer schedule on their website and head on out for an event. Support your local drag strip 👍🏻
