You’re looking at the ‘Factory Stock’ class winner at a local mud drag…

It’s a 12-valve that tore into a dozen gas-powered trucks in its class and took home the win. It was also the only diesel competing at the event—but at least it cleaned house.

Every time it lined up you could see a cloud of black, then it would take off, the smoke would clean up, and mud would fly. I hope that diesels keep invading gasser turf in the future, especially in the faster classes.
