What does 2021 have for diesel enthusiasts???

It could be a split view depending on what happens in January, however life goes on regardless of what happens politically. 

We all use diesel vehicles to continue as essential workers delivering food/supplies to the stores, service the streets/town municipalities plus continued construction. They still need to be serviced and worked on in order to keep going for us workers.

We still will upgrade them slightly so they last longer and made to service our needs. Our part manufacturers are getting smarter and getting EPA approval on all parts before sending them out the door. Yes, it makes them cost more (thanks government) and they continue to be made in the US of higher quality materials.

Will we attend truck events when we are not working, you bet if any indication from the 2020 year continues. You can not keep us bottled up in the homes with nothing to do since most of the older forms of entertainment have been tainted. 

If state government continues to shutdown fairgrounds then I see sled pulling falling off on the state levels with only private bigger events holding pulls. This will make the midlevel classes fall off with costs being too much for units to sit in garages. Still the street classes will be strong since we can still drive these and the higher cost trucks will be used only when needed for shop promotions. 

Drag racing will continue strong with the street classes along with a new truck street machine class being introduced this year along with ET bracket and heads-up racing. Show-n-shine will be stronger because we have had time at home to work on our vehicles.

With over eight classes now in show-n-shine it makes sure more people go home with trophies and monies for showing their vehicles.

I do know you can not hold down rural Americans for long, we are too inventive and self reliant. We do what we like to do and find a way to do it,  just like DIESEL Motorsports found ways to continue to hold events last year.

Automotive motorsports is Americana and as long as we have to drive to work, we will continue to participate in motorsports. I promise we won't get political, biased or judgemental toward the love of your vehicle!

Watch for more announcements for the 2021 events this year!
