Smoker Tractor Pulls
Some of the most spectacular actioN DURING the weekend occurred when the 2,000hp smoker tractors hooked up to The Terminator, the same sled used in the first Diesel Power Challenge. Each of the earth-movers performed wheelstands as they tugged the sled away from the starting line and fought for traction with their giant rear tires. One tractor had so much torque that it sheared one of the giant aluminum wheels off at the hub, which made the crowd go wild.

White Out!
It's not surprising that a lot of farm work trucks end up becoming projects built for competition. Many are ordered with the least amount of options possible, which keeps the curb weights and prices low. Here is a group of white trucks that hooked up to the sled and raced down the Tulare Ag Center racetrack.


 2006 Dodge Ram 3500
June's cover truck, this '06 Dodge Ram 3500 owned by Jerad Wittwer, fought the sled hard off the line, but an unexpected gearshift ended the run early.
 Chevy Nick Damico
Diesel Power Challenge West winner, Nick D'Amico, is now using a different turbo and engine setup but still ends up taking home the trophies. Here, he's pulling The Terminator sled past 208 feet to win First Place in the Super Street class.
 2000 Ford F350 Front View
Bryan Kinney's '00 Ford F-350 was good enough for Second Place in the Modified sled pulls and put the truck into "limp home" mode with a nasty-sounding rod knock. Once he gets the truck rebuilt, we'll run a full feature on this hot rod diesel.
