Most of us forget or don't know how BIG Texas can be when traveling by truck. Some of the people who came to our event in Amarillo Dragway drove further than I did coming from Kansas City (8 hr drive) and they lived in Texas. Montana/Idaho my be the big sky country but Texas is the BIG horizons country. It seems like you can see forever across the landscape.
Many of the trucks who came to the event whether diesel or gas was high-end performance trucks that were nice looking machines. Many have been displayed at the SEMA show the year before and some on TV shows.
Being a first year show in the middle of nowhere was not a big show but something to build on for the future. This area and longtime track has good vibes since it was built in 1959 and have held many drag races in the past.
It needs some updating but the young staff is doing their best to bring it up to modern standards with a new timing system installed before we got there. We raced both days with lots of fast times and a best reaction time of .0072.
The town has a lot to offer as a visitor such as the Cadillac Ranch (Cadillacs buried up-rite in the ground) and the Big Texan Steakhouse and hotel.
DIESEL Motorsports met a lot of young enthusiasts who own their own shops that build some very interesting trucks for show and performance!
We look forward to coming back to this location and build for future events.
