Diesel World Crude Drags 2008
The Weather Threatened for the Crude Drags in Bakersfield at the Famoso Raceway...we faced cold, rain, and sleet on the way down, but it made for a scenic drive
1262hp when last dyno-ed on pure #2, the F350 is still a daily-driver. A 10gal competition gas tank though means lots of stops on the way. Unfortunatley, the F350 was not fully ready for competition and Maddog MotorSports and Diesel Performance ran the Dyno instead this time...
Heavy overnight rains kept the track from opening until lunch time but there was plenty to see in the parking lot beforehand...

Trucks of all Kinds and Sizes
Banks uncovered...what makes it go fast? I see two turbos, low weight, wiring, and a bunch of funky tanks and fluids...
Airwerks?

Banks had a very fast, very loud crowd pleasure, turning in its trademark 8.40 1/4mile at about 167mph...
