What a fun packed weekend in Wapakoneta Ohio at the Auglaize County Fairgrounds! Friday found DIESEL Motorsports setting up for the Friday night Dirt Drags and the burnout contest! The burnout contest was unbelievable what these guys put their trucks through on the concrete pad in front of thousands of people! The longest burn used up the entire pad to blow both tires.
Because they had so many entries in the burnout contest the dirt drags ran behind an hour but it gave us time to line up more trucks to run down the track. For the first time at the track it went great and the crowd loved the action on the 200 ft track! Winners are listed below in all of the classes.
Saturday found DIESEL Motorsports watching the parade of trucks going to the Truck Show with over 80 entries. The UNOH Diesel club had a great display and they brought over a dozen students from the diesel club to help us with the dirt drags and the tug-a-truck! Good to see the youth getting involved with truck motorsports.
The truck tugs started around 3pm with a large crowd watching from both grand stands. They ran well into the night with over 110 entries, the list of winners will be posted soon. The dyno ran some high power trucks with some high horsepower reports and a couple of exciting blowups from trucks.
The ATV/UTV races on the new built course offered some great entertainment before the tugs and truck show! So this was an action packed weekend in this little local county fairgrounds. Everyone had a great time whether you camped/RV or drove to the event the crowd was enthusiastic the entire weekend.
Until next year with even more fun motorsports activities planned.
