Yes, we held an unscheduled event during Covid Pandemic because people were calling us to host a overall Motorsports event including a little bit of everything! Plus not just diesel trucks but gas trucks, cars, rods, jeeps, anything in a car/truck show, PLUS food trucks, PLUS Music, PLUS swap meet, PLUS dyno competition and an evening of drag racing on US 36's 1/8 mile dragstrip!
It was a blast of a Saturday all done in one day! But that is what we are known for holding multiple motorsports functions at one location in one day! We have found it is more exciting for people to attend and be entertained. Only thing missing was sled pulling and it may be added next year.
Over 3.500 people came in to enjoy the day with over 100 vehicles in the car/truck show and over 100 vehicles racing made it an action packed day. Yes, good ole Missouri weather had a hand in it since it started out sunny and 70º and by end of drag racing it was in the 40ºs with a brisk wind but people still came out to watch from a 4 state area.
Look at the links below for videos and photos of the event, there was a lot to take in for the day and people were walking everywhere on the 200 acre facility. Winners are listed below and a few went home with purse monies and trophies for the competitions. The DIESEL Motorsports booth was busy all day passing out sponsor's swag and information on their products with goody bags provided by ARP!
The car show was handled by All Speed Expo and DIESEL Motorsports did the truck side of the show with judging and presentation of the trophies sponsored by Joey Arrington Speed Sport. Joey was at the show to greet enthusiasts and displaying his new gas and diesel engines along with many of our sponsor's products. Many other vendors were there to sell their products along with some bargains at the swap meet area.
Revolution Auto was there with their dyno providing all wheel dyno services and the opportunity for people to see how their vehicles put out horsepower and torque. Many tried to win the purse money for the highest horsepower!
We will be back next year with a similar event at the same location, time may change a little but we hope to keep this kind of fun going for the sport!

This most recent event in Osborn, MO was the first event I have ever been to. I absolutely loved it. I brought my new(to me) daily driver and put it in the show. It was the first time I have ever shown a car and y’all have the nicest group of people to be around. Drag racing was cold but everything else was awesome. I wish their was more classes in the showing part. Me with my Tuner Pontiac was grouped with the GM class didn’t have a chance at winning anything.
