DIESEL Power Plus Showdown Review 2026 - DIESEL Motorsports!

California can be in Missouri just outside of the capitol of Missouri, Jefferson City, on highway 50! A small agriculture town that is rich in Americana including their Moniteau County Fairground in the middle of the city. 

That is where for two days the event was hosted by DIESEL Power Plus, MSTPA and DIESEL Motorsports! The weather was a bit warm for October but welcomed since the sun came with it and a beautiful evening for sled pulling.

Sled pulling on Friday night included trucks, tractors and semis that run down a 300 foot track in front of the grandstands full of people. The show for both nights ran between 6pm to 11:30 pm which includes a lot of pulling and show of powerful horsepower! Many vehicles powered by 1000-4000 horsepower drivetrains!

The crowds saw a great show of pulling represented from 11 states with over $60,000 in purse monies paid out to pullers! The little town of California grew tremendously those nights and hotel rooms from surrounding areas were hard to find.

Delton Rissler is the ring leader for this event as the owner of DIESEL Power Plus apparel and performance parts. Delton attends many of our events as a vendor that is well represented with truck teeshirts, hats and parts!

This is the 2nd year for the event with the main purpose being a fundraiser for the 118 Foundation. The 118 Foundation supports the 4 county fire/rescue for the Ozark communities. During the winter months the population is normal but being a vacation spot the population raises 600% during the summer months.

The Car/Truck/Semi show had some great builds show up Saturday morning with some people who like power and performance. The show had a wide variety of vendors from truck shops to craft fair shops for people to look at during the day. For the kids they had jump houses and free games for the little ones.  DIESEL Motorsports always has decals and swag from our sponsors (parents too) when they stopped by our sponsor's tent! 

The photos for the two days can be found on the links below, we had so many photos there is 4 galleries of photos.

SEMA 2026 who is going & why not???

 The halls are full of vendors to see and visit, even outside has extra booths this year! If you are a motorsports fan and appreciate all about the sport you need to go if you have not been! It is eye candy for those who want to see performance and customizing for your vehicle. 

The outside will have tons of vehicles to look at from crazy wild builds to the very nice street vehicles. The builders across the US bring out their best for the SEMA show because it is the ultimate Car Show for the USA!

It will take you all 3 days to walk the show and see everything easily walking 4-7 miles a day! Bring your best walking shoes, dress business casual if you want the vendors to talk with you. Yes, there are many there in cutoffs and tees just to enjoy the views. 

Bring your pocket books $$$, everything jumps up at least 3 prices more than regular Vegas prices! The Westgate Hotel next to convention hall goes for $62 a night 20 days before and during SEMA it's $205 per night. EVERTHING is $20, beer, burger, Uber, drink, - be prepared to pay $20!

Do not walk about the strip/streets by yourself and watch your belongings while out. It is a fun town to view and see different sights, food, shows and much more but be prepared to pay. And that doesn't even include the gambling at the hotels/casinos, so set a budget and stick to it.

You will be wore out by evening, take some time to re-charge and come back the next day. If you stay out late you will be paying for it the next day lol! 

Will you meet some great people and see some unbelievable builds - absolutely! If you are a shop or a competitor it is a great place to gather information for parts and accessories. 

Make sure to save a afternoon for the AAPEX show just 10 mins from the SEMA show. It has been known in the past as the battery/hard parts show but has changed very much over the past years. If you have a garage or shop it is a great place to view product you should be selling! The same pass works for both shows, it is a very much casual work dress show.

With fuel at $5 and 6 a gallon will this have an effect on attendance? Maybe on the show vehicles but the show gets a lot of foreign traffic so we will have to see. If you are in the industry and have never been it is worth the trip.

The PRI Show in December 10-12th is more performance oriented with very little show vehicles. It is much easier to get to for us flyover states and a lot more reasonable $$!

Postpone an Event??? Weather related and other causes . . .

 Over 20 years DIESEL Motorsports has canceled many events based on weather, surrounding conditions, and emergency concerns regarding Mother Nature. 

Many people whoop and holler about it online whether we were right or wrong, but the real decision comes down to who is putting on the event/promoter! We have many factions we have to consider: weather being one, vendors safety/damage, DM safety/damage, attendance & safety, and people's property! 

At our events the vehicles brought for the shows sometimes are $200-300,000 each with many of the show vehicles in the $100,000 range! As a passionate person of motorsports, I for one, do NOT want to see damage to these vehicles! Much less, the enthusiast/competitor who brought them. Mother Nature can literally rain all kinds of damage down on an event in such a short time and 30 minutes later the sun comes out!

It is a hard one to call, but somebody has to do it. We all want to have fun and enjoy our sport, but when it does go wrong every one suffers! 

There is one thing I have easily found out, you can not fight or predict Mother Nature! Most of us know the weatherman is the only person on earth who can retain their job with a 50% success/prediction rate! 

This last week a promoter in Lake Ozark, Missouri planned a perfect event Bike Fest(motorcycle) at the Lake with lots of vendors. Nothing serious from the weather stations predicted, occasional scattered shower but mostly sunny and hot (80-90s degrees). 

Out of no where a storm popped up with straight line winds, heavy rain and lots of damage (roofs blown off of building force)! Total destruction to the show (photos by customers below)! What a blow to the poor promoter and vendors, bikers and enthusiasts who showed up that day. 30 minutes later the sun came out with a rainbow over the event.

NO ONE can predict these natural happenings that spring up but be cognitive and supportive of the people who hold the events and strive to protect all aspects of these shows. 

Yes, many people picked up their destroyed popups, and merchandise and will continue on with the show! There is always our people who love the sport so much they continue on for the long haul. 

DIESEL Motorsports has held events in every part of our beautiful country and yes, we love good weather and people!  The one thing you can count on is you can always live for another nice day for an event if you cancel, sometimes it is hard to come back from a destructive storm at an event. I have moved weekends, dates and locations trying to dodge weather. It works sometime and others it did not work.

East Coast Diesel Nationals Review 2026

After holding this event for 16 years we had to move the location because of new track management at Numidia Dragway. Moving it to a county fairground has some advantages but also changes the crowd attending the event. DIESEL Motorsports focused on the truck/tractor side of the diesel business as it turns to more agricultural audience wanting to see power.

The Washington County AG Center is a beautiful facility with lots to offer including a very well known pulling arena which also doubled for our dirt drags track. The covered pavilions for our truck/tractor/car/semi show was a BIG plus since most could display on concrete and out of the sun. There was plenty of parking for the 2-3,000 attending as enthusiasts with all ages represented for a family friendly event.

This size of the fairgrounds and the condition of it was top quality along with the people there. The food trucks there had a wide variety of fairground food for group. Plenty of parking for competitors and pullers to bring their trailered vehicles into the event.

The Truck show had great attendance since we filled two pavilion buildings with all types of builds. The semis had to park outside of course because of their size. The quality of the builds was amazing not only for looks but performance also added to the trucks. The Best of Show for all 3 categories was top personal builds with personality put into each vehicle. The Best of Show Truck was a custom 1979 Ford that was lifted and customized at every point including frame cut-outs with the name of  "Back in Blue Lumber JAC"!  The Best of Show Semi is used daily and this driver rides in luxury where ever he goes! This semi had more chrome and padded upholstery than a Elvis Cadillac! The Best of Show car was a small gem of a Mini Cooper but was customized to match the drivers personality which was a lowered beauty recognized anywhere. Take a look at the photos in the gallery.

The dirt drags had over 45 entries of trucks from street stock to modified with lots of power hitting the 200 ft dirt track. It was a drop flag old style racing with photo finish at the end. There were three different classes Work Stock, Street Stock and Modified with a set of safety rules for power levels. Each class saw rounds continue for over 3 hours on the track giving the crowd quite a show.

The sled pull which started around 6:30 went till 11 pm with 3 classes of trucks, 4 classes of tractors and a class for semi trucks. The crowd filled both the stands and the lawn on the opposite side with 2-3000 people watching the pulls while enjoying some local fair food from the vendors. Sled pulling is still quite popular with the rural farm crowd surrounding the fairgrounds even though we were only 1.5 hours from Washington DC! Just down the highway was Harpers Ferry and the Civil War battle ground Antietam so the area has some longtime history.

No one ever thinks of Maryland being agriculture but this area is quite invested with the University of Maryland's AG Research Center next door. 

A shoutout to two sponsors who came to the show Thom from SPAL USA and Larry from Amsoil who talked to enthusiasts all day about their products. A thank you goes out to the Western Maryland Pullers Association, Interstate Pullers, and the Washington County AG Center for their help and partnership in the event. Of course, DIESEL Motorsports crew was there to help where they could and represented our many different sponsors who support these events.

The weather could not have been more perfect being in the low 80s with low humidity under sunny skies. A very pleasant day and event! Winners are listed below with more coming from the fairgrounds crew. Photo gallery links are below for you to view.

Trump pardons EPA charged Diesel Mechanics - What does it mean?

 This past week President Trump along with EPA officials pardoned several people in our diesel industry who was criminally charged by the past administration for violating Federal regulations on exhaust emissions. Granted this is a step forward in the right direction along with possible EO from President Trump regarding DEF and DPF regulations for our diesel trucks.

However, the threat still remains on the books as Federal Law for the regulations. I always thought that criminally charging hard working mechanics and putting them in Federal prisons along with hardcore criminals and murders was way too harsh. 

It means the current administration currently also thinks the past actions went too far along with questioning the diesel regulations. We have seen many trucks such as HD pickups along with Class 8 trucks damaged deeply by choking them down with emission controls costing everyone way too much to repair. When the repairs out reach the problem then the regulation is the problem. 

It made the cost of our livable products go up in cost because the repair costs are passed up the food chain to the consumers. Trucks got half the mileage along with the repairs costs and who absorbs those losses? The OEMs have to comply in order to sell the vehicles along with fuel stations. 

I know of diesel shops who have deleted the DPF systems, made mechanical adjustments, which doubled their mileage and more horsepower/torque. Then taken them to the supposed government emission stations which showed they had cleaner exhaust emissions than the original system! But since the check stations were controlled by CARB and funded by the OEMs they could not certify them cleaner without the original equipment intact.

Something is wrong with our system when the smarter mechanics are punished for innovation, and then fined or thrown in jail.

Let's discuss the past fines many in our diesel industry has had to pay into the government and even had to write checks to NGOs the EPA deemed certified. What happened to those funds and do these people get theirs back? I highly doubt it! No mention of where all of those funds went, EPA director indicated they currently can not track the past funds.

So does this mean all of you can do DPF/EGR deletes again on the repair side?

If you do it will be a gamble on the legality of it for many years. Currently the law has not changed - period! An EO to do so will only be good under current administration (2 yrs) then where does it go? If back to the old standards they will hunt everyone who has done it the past 2 years, if it stands they STILL need to change the current laws with congress.

The regulations are being demanded to the OEMs so it's not their fault. They would love to build less regulated vehicles to the public, they sell more of them at a cheaper price.

If you want to help write your local congressman and explain the additional costs you have occurred over the past years. I don't know about you butI don't see any cleaner air than it was before 2008. 

In fact along with world industry not complying for cleaner air I think the air is dirtier now because of other countries. We are currently experiencing dirty air from the Sahara Dessert supposedly along with wild fires from Canada???

The performance industry has ALWAYS lead the way for vehicle innovation such as the old spark plug giving way to injection systems. Same goes for the diesel industry when many of our brighter mechanics has gotten so much more out of the original design! I'm sure Rudolf Diesel would agree with many of us today that the future is with the brightest minds. His original design was changed many times over the years from other people with his approval. 

Thunder in Muncie Review 2026! DIESEL Motorsports

It was beautiful both days of the event with cool temperatures which is great for the turbos and keeping the engines cooler. This was the 25th Year Anniversary of the US 1st diesel event in the country! Back when NO one would let the HD trucks run down the drag strip or pull at local fairs. The sports has come a long way in 25 years going from top HP in 2001 of 600 hp to over 3000 hp in 2026.

Vehicle sales of diesel trucks have increased by 300% since 2001 along with products for the diesel aftermarket. Much has changed since the first event and DIESEL Motorsports has been there for 19 years as part of the building blocks that is now a major business model in the US!

It may not be a major giant event but we like to keep alive the history and remember where it all started by honoring the locations.

DIESEL Motorsports went back to Muncie Dragstrip which we have been absent during the Covid years! It was great to be back to the track with some great runs down the track running the 1/8th mile on the 1/4 mile track.

Good thing it was cooler because the winners ran multiple classes called hot lapping to keep up with the call to the lanes. One competitor used our SPAL fan display to help cool his truck down so he could keep on racing, I think he plans to have them installed soon as he gets home! It was a fun evening and some great wins at the lights.

2nd day took us back to the Gaston Lion's Club Park for the truck show along with sled pulling! Another cool sunny day at the park for the event. We had some great looking trucks at the truck show for the people to view.

While the crowd enjoyed some good eating at the Gaston Lion's Club Food Shack the track crew was prepping the track for the trucks. While we had difficulties with the sound system (hit by lightening a few days before) the crowd saw some great runs down the track by some great pulling trucks.

Many manned by longtime pullers who have attended the event for many years. We had a couple of enthusiasts who said they had come to the original Thunder in Muncie in 2001!

We want to thank the competitors, track personnel and sponsors who helped us out at the event.
