TEXAS DIESEL SHOOTOUT

Powerstroke Racer · #1 (**permalink**) 07-09-2009, 05:52 PM

The first Friday race was postponed a week due to the track closing for the July 4th holiday.

Diesel Innovations, Hellmann Performance, HotRodDiesels is sponsoring a race at Houston Raceway Park/Baytown this Friday night. For those newbie's we usually do this the 1st Friday of every month.

$200 to win. The $200 will be a gift certificate to be spent at 1 of the 3 shops. We will match up the 2 quickest/fastest to a winner takes all race. Red lights count. Heads up, no breakout, run what ya brung, and hope you brung enough.

The final race will be about 9-10pm. Get there early so you can get some runs in. The entries into the "money" race will be based on timeslips from THAT day/night.

The rules are: The truck has to be a licensed and inspected streetable diesel truck. No trailer queens, they have to race MDW.

We've had some great winners since we've started this. For awhile it was a Cummins but the last few months it's been a Duramax. Where are the Fords?? Who's going to take the win this month? Cummins, Duramax, Ford??

Even if you're not racing, it's still a good time talking trucks and listening to the 3 shop owners talking trash with each other...

See you at the track,

Michael Watkins

Red lights count? So a chase is a race?

this is the new trophy we will be giving out, Then at the end of the year we will have a finals trophy that will be a lot bigger. We are also going to be changing up the format as well where you eliminate each other till you have a final winner.
