Why we have safety in place for diesels!

By Larry "Gene" Mohney

Over 12 years DIESEL Motorsports has had safety measures in place for diesel trucks for a reason. It's motorsports! Racing, pulling and dyno competition is dangerous like all motorsports. We are taking the OEM vehicle and making it go faster, higher HP and competing with more power.

These vehicles were not made to do so with their original specifications so we add safety measures as the HP increase in the classes for racing and pulling. They are there to protect the competitor, the enthusiast watching and the sport!


If an accident does happen then the sport is hurt because venues question if they are safe and more important can they get the event insured. 

DIESEL Motorsports has our own SFI techs and insurance made just for diesel competition. NHRA and IHRA does not have classes for diesels so they run under guised classes for protection. Many events are not insured fully for all activities.

You never know when something will go wrong when we are pushing the envelope for more power and torque. Make sure safety measures are in place to not only protect yourself but also the sport.
