East Coast Diesel Nationals revue 2019!

This was the 11th annual event at Numidia Dragway on July 20th and it was the hottest event for the 11 years with temperatures reaching 110 heat index during the day. There is always a breeze on the mountain so it was tolerable but it was still very hot and humid.

This kept many of the diesels performing at their best but we still had racers in the 9s running 1/4 mile on the drag strip and many of the trucks pulling hard on the pulling track.

The grandstands were too hot to sit in so many of the die-hard fans spread out on the fences of both tracks under pop-up tents with coolers and even some had fans blowing on their families. Diesel enthusiasts poured in early in order to get a good spot along the fence on both sides of both tracks. Many gathered around the dyno watching many of the trucks run on the NJDRP dyno and filming their friends rides.

Show-n-shine had some great trucks lined up by the concession stands and vendors. They polished on their trucks all morning long then watched as the judges from Mahle walked around and looked inside each vehicle.

Drag racing had a bit of excitement when the first heads-up truck's hood come un-latched and flew back to break the front windshield which flew all over the track. It was a mess and took the track over 45 minutes to clean-up the track. The front line crew then checked all of the hoods before they pulled up to the line.

Many of the trucks ran and also some bought back in after the first round making it a large round of fast trucks. the finals came later in the after noon with some interesting final runs. The crowd saw many of their favorite trucks come to the end of the race.

The sled pulling started on time with lots of high power trucks and tractors running first then the HOT Work Stock ran with hope of the first five making the Keystone Nationals in March. The dyno was running well into the evening hours trying to get everyone in for the title of "King of the Mountain" for the highest horsepower.

By the end of the day every one was hot and thirsty but we got the entire competition in for the day in record time! DIESEL Motorsports appreciates every one who came out to brave the heat and enjoyed the show - these are true diesel enthusiasts.

How to cool off that #hottruck . . . 

Every one knows what a problem it is try to keep our diesel trucks cool and temps down while towing or driving long distances with a load?

Many of our sponsors work on performance for power/torque but if ya can't keep it cool then the power doesn't matter! SPAL fans are the OEM fans for Ferrari and Corvette/Chevy using the brushless fans with variable speed motors and low profile appearance. #Ferraricool #Corvettecool

These fans move air in mass volume as they slowly rev up and cool your engine. I saw these at a trade show many years ago and told the company rep we need these for our trucks which over heat constantly with increased horsepower and torque. Brushless fans with CFMs of 2300-5000 depending on what size and how many are mounted will cool without draw of fan clutch. Just getting rid of the fan clutch saves you HP and torque!

The wiring harness was designed to set at different temperature settings and a manual on for those who want to cool in between runs with the fans running wide open. You would not believe the power of these cooling fans till you see them in action. #blowmeoverfans

#cooldownmyhottruck

The most important feature is brushless, quiet and many people do not know diesel fumes deteriorate brushes so diesel will not hurt these fans!  These high-end fans are now available with complete shroud kits including wiring harness which match up with OEM plugs and holes. #brushlessfans

The shroud kits for SPAL fans are being built and distributed by Northern Radiator which is a established radiator/inter-cooler supplier for OEM replacement for many years along with over 20 warehouse locations. #SPALcoolfans

NOW Northern Radiator is offering HD diesel truck radiators and inter-coolers with increased cooling levels from the OEM standards (30-40%)! For example on OEM trucks the inter-cooleryinlet temperature is at 40 PSI and 300º - NOW - NR Inter-cooler is at 100 PSI and 500º! #HDintercoolers

Larger flows for more cooling power with reinforced mounts/sides makes their radiators far above the OEM standards and many competitors. Northern Radiator has been supplying cooling systems for over 50 years so they know what they are doing when I asked them to build us heavy-duty radiators and inter-coolers. #HDradiators #flowbabyflow

I had these products tested on diesel pulling trucks and race trucks with all reporting cooler run temperatures and faster cool off times between runs. In competition and intense horsepower these products perform so imagine what they would do for your truck during long hauls and hot weather conditions? #cooltruckpull #cooltruckrace

Us diesel truck guys are always looking for EXTRA HD components for our trucks and these two companies have delivered! #HDtruckcool #HDcoolmedown #HDcoolrunningdownHWY
