While most seniors are content taking it easy at home or occasionally going for a sunday drive 80 year old Fred Schimek prefers to head to the dragstrip in of all things a 700+ horsepower tor-red customized Dodge Hellcat! Now before you think Fred has business driving such a car, think again! Fred raced a 425hp 409ci 4 spd Studebaker back in the 60's and a Hemi Super Stocker in '66/'67. The last 20 years or so he’s had a few 9 sec bracket cars. Today, he also has a '63 Dodge Polara with a 540 B1 currently being built. Fred regularly makes the hour and a half drive with all his gearhead buddies from Streator Il,. to the playground of power Byron Dragway in Byron, Il,. The group are all die hard drag racers that have all been racing since high school and always put on a show for the fans! #hellcat #dodgemusclecar #grandparaceshellcat
