Yes, DIESEL/TRUCK Motorsports held it's first event the first weekend in January for 2020. We went to almost the furthest tip of the US to West Palm Beach Florida at the IHRA Palm Beach International Raceway. We did this in order to find the best warm weather for the country and we still got rain on the last day but that is outdoor events. We can not control mother nature!
The turnout on Friday was great with many pickups and fast street trucks. The young crowd came out of Miami around 7-8 pm and brought their best trucks to show off. I saw a lot of custom trucks that was raised, lowered and customized to their taste.
This tells me the US automotive market is alive and well. Who doesn't still like to buy and customize/accessorize your truck to make it your personal vehicle. These young people did exactly that and then some!
They were all proud of their truck plus what they did to it and wanted to show others! That is the original push of all automotive aftermarket that goes back to the 60/70s!
Now I have to admit the look is totally different but that is progress and modern technology at work. Many people came to our booth looking for custom parts to increase HP/Torque, to get better mileage and asking about maintenance fluids to make their investment last longer.
It was encouraging to see so many people wanting to see pickup trucks race and compete at the drag strip. Next year we will be adding dirt drags for the trucks and UTV/ATVs! We spent a good amount of time asking the local crowd what they wanted to do with their trucks.
We ask because we are here to satisfy the customers and what they want to do in order to keep motorsports alive for the upcoming years! Looking forward to 2020!
