Wonder how many Carbon Credis per Gal it gets?

Wish I had some finish line photo's of it. There were about 4' flames coming out to the exhaust and boost regulator (?). Very impressive and very wild.

The Diesel drag racing series is a ton of fun, more like NHRA was 20+ years ago (probably more like 30+). Much more of a "grassroots" feel, with the classes evolving as the vehicles evolve. The guys making the rules are just another group of guys with similar interests, not a dog food salesman looking to make a buck.

Probably the most impressive part is when you see 4x4 3/4-ton crew cab pickups (like many people tow with) that are capable of running 9 second 1/4-mile passes. While the 9-second trucks aren't as streetable any more, there are a number of 10 second trucks that still get driven regularly (and some guys even tow their travel trailer to the track, unhook the truck and run 10's or 11's).
