DRAG RACING DIESEL TRUCKS! DURAMAX! POWERSTROKE! CUMMINS! ROLLING COAL! TRIBUTE RACE AT BYRON!

One thing about the diesel truck community is not only the love for everything diesel but love for one another! On a very hot June day they came together to support the memory of fellow diesel brother Jarrett Powell. Jarrett was a frequent diesel drag racer at Byron Dragway having competed just last October in his 2006 LBZ GMC Duramax truck appropriately named the "ORANGEBEAUT. Jarrrett was late son of Superior Automotive owner Marty Powell, who sponsored the event with all awards being presented bearing Jarrett's name. Friends and families set up an area to showcase Jarrett's truck along with commemorative tshirts. Friends congregated all day long, sharing stories and memories about the well loved young man.
The atmosphere was unlike anything I've witnessed before in either of the yearly spring or fall events hosted by the Playground of Power Byron Dragway. The crowd was mostly the younger generation with many families with young children and babies in strollers being pushed around the pits. It was a great day all around with the diesel trucks putting on quite the show.
The winners were as follows:
Top 3 Cummins:
1. Brandon Lembcke (11.531 at 116.75 MPH)
2. Walker Knight (12.052 at 111.78 MPH)

[@dmd1285]

Who’s is the denali in the thumbnail?

[@BillieHQ]

Imagine running a 12 second pass and having you lift pump filters sagging to be seen 😂😂 im dying 😂😂

[@domesticatedwolverine4152]

The sad truth about diesels is, if you remove the turbo it turns into a real POS.

[@tomboy1875]

Yeah when you combine a massive compression ratio with very low rpm’s to maximize torque that’s what you get. It can’t turn fast like a gasoline engine so it needs the extra oxygen to get it pumping per stroke. I thought that was common sense my dude.

[@Ronaldo39724]

7:13 favorite sound ever suuututututut

[@victoryredcolorado]

Hell yeah hit the choo choo right! 💨💨👍

[@JohnJennings-cn3sj]

Seems like a lot of crappy tunes In this video

[@victoryredcolorado]

🤔👌😄

[@MikesGarageReviews]

What a absolute joke. Black smoke = loss of power. Cheap junk

[@tomboy1875]

Yes rolling coal is a loss of power BUT a lot of dudes throw fuel to it a lot earlier than needed until the turbo makes boost and evens the mixture out. Unless you have a purpose built drag rig this tends to be the issue. Their are a lot of dudes who really believe a lot of fuel = power and that’s just not the case. I will say it’s safer to run rich than lean.
