Diesels In The Desert 2009 Chevy Truck
Who: Matt Larson
What & Why: Because Matt's regular-cab Duramax runs high 11s on a single turbo and single CP3 pump, and he built most of the truck himself!
Best E.T.: 11.70 seconds at 115 mph

Diesels In The Desert 2009 Funny Car
Who: John Robinson
What & Why: Because it's a Funny Car! Too bad John was having issues in Arizona, only running mid 9s in the quarter. Usually the Funny Car runs mid 8s, but the crowd still had fun watching it smoke down the track.
Best E.T.: 9.64 seconds at 142 mph

Diesels In The Desert 2009 Engine Revving
Although the Banks Type-D and John Robinson's Funny Car were both in attendance, they ran in different classes, so there was no side-by-side racing, although there was quite a bit of engine revving in the pits.

Diesels In The Desert 2009 1995 Dodge Ram
Who: Steve Bruce
What & Why: Steve's '95 Dodge still has its stock head bolts and head gasket, and it only runs a single turbo. Budget doesn't even begin to describe this build, yet it clicks off reliable low 11-second passes with ease.
Best E.T.: 11.10 seconds at 128 mph

Diesels In The Desert 2009 Dodge Vs Ford
Steve Bruce brought his two-wheel-drive Dodge up from San Diego, California, and ran a strong 11.10-second E.T. in the semifinal round of Pro Street. After breaking a transfer case earlier in the day, Zane Koch's Ford driven by Jerred Mattingley had to run in two-wheel drive, setting up an all two-wheel-drive final. Unfortunately, right after this photo was taken, the Ford's transmission made an early exit, giving Steve the easy win.
