Diesel Power Challenge 2018 | Part 3 - 1/4-Mile Drag Race

[@toyotalandcruiser8248]

So let me get this straight both of them want to redo because they want to win fair and you tell them no That puts on a really great show LOL

[@TedGNE]

Awful planning on the event coordinators. Real competition here, both racers want an honest redo and they’re told no. This thing gets worse every year and peaked around ‘14-‘15.

[@numlockkilla]

Honestly every person should get to try and every person if there able to be on top shouldn't be stopped because they won twice. No comp ever turned people away for winning.

[@Drake5153]

For one the announcer talking over people is irritating, and for two, being that this series tests the truck overall and not just racing, the drag racing should be judged by the best et, not reaction time, each truck as different spool up and sitting on boost while the other spools is hard on the truck too. This drag racing portion is my favorite, but its organized pretty poorly for people that actually use their trucks and not just race them...

[@stinger15au]

Except drag racing has ALWAYS had a holeshot component in heads up racing, that's just how it is. You can't just change something because it doesn't suit certain things.

If you allow one, youre allowing all. The other guy unintentionally burned him down, they're following NHRDA/NHRA rules, you can have a stage dual all you want in the pre-stage, when one person lights up the stage bulb, you have 7 seconds to stage or be disqualified. No one wants to be burned down sitting on the converter trying to make boost at altitude.

I’m lost. How did he win with 11.71 and the other guy ran 11.68?

[@messagedeleted2797]

The 11.71 made to the finish line first. Reaction time counts, the 11.71 was .03 seconds faster off the tree

[@coreyclark2692]

he beat him to the finish line.......that's how drag racing works. all about the reaction time

[@Cafferssss]

He tree'd him, he got to 1320ft first with a slower truck because his rt was much better

[@brianj7787]

The time shown is the elapsed time, aka the time from the starting line to the finish. However the race is decided by who physically crossed the finish first, so the guy with the faster et had a slow reaction at the light, and lost

Ole boy from Salisbury NC representing. Born and raised there and never seen that truck. I’ll be looking now.

[@TheBTRGarage]

Why so much smoke? Doesn't that mean they are running super rich, and making less power? My 7.3 doesn't do that even on the race tune but granted it isn't setup for drag racing.

[@chrismartin7248]

Smoke from a diesel doesn't indicate a rich condition the way that it does in a gas engine. Since diesels do not have throttle body's acceleration is controlled by the injection of fuel. More fuel equals more acceleration, and since diesels do not have spark plugs the un burnt fuel simply passes through the engine and produces black smoke. Better to have too much fuel in a performance diesel application than not enough.

[@dh-dd6cy]

Yes, there is a LOT of tuning left on the table with these trucks. A lot of those that do performance diesel applications on a budget simply don't have the knowledge to do it efficiently. Done efficiently, yes the black smoke would clear up and they would have the potential to make more power.

[@TheBTRGarage]

Thanks guys for the replies, makes sense.

[@nate5102]

Black smoke is just wasted torque

5:21 what? The guy in the black Chevy in the left lane (Kodi Koch)won. The announcer said the other guy won. I’m confused. Black truck ran 11:68 and the white gmc ran out 11:71. I’m disappointed with the way this whole event was put together this year. 🙃

[@MellowYe77ow]

No, right lane won. The elapsed time doesn't start when the tree turns green. It stars when the start beam is broken. If the driver's reaction time and elapsed time in total are lower than their opponent's then they get the win. It's called a holeshot. It's all about who gets to the finish line first, not who has the lowest elapsed time.

[@Kcducttaper1]

In the final round, Kodi got a better reaction time and crossed the line going faster. How did he lose?

[@2doacst]

I hate this spoke person he is dry does not know nothing about trucks ......

Love your videos.. From Bangladesh

[@hellzangelrulz]

So as I understand it that black soot is from incomplete combustion due to an improper fuel/air ratio so why are these guys rolling coal?

[@Wildkat9797]

Not enough air to burn the fuel. Hence the nitrous clearing up smoke, and the compound turbo 6.0 almost being clean at the line.

[@Unpocodemuchascosas]

Esto no contamina el ambiente?:v

[@oscarzt1652]

surely all that smoke out the pipe is just unburnt fuel? couldnt they lean it out a bit and make the same power?

[@floydmast8534]

They're racing at a high altitude. I'm guessing it's hard to tune the truck to the altitude if your not used to it

[@coopervaughn4739]

the race between the black single cab duramax and the white ext cab duramax was probably the best one. The white duramax treed his opponent and got to the finish first, but that black dirtymax still had a higher mph and a faster time lol

[@Constabruity]

I got a motortrend ad on a motortrend video.

[@Mish93Will]

Diesel noob question, why do they operate the nitrous manually?

[@Wildkat9797]

Nitrous backfires are pretty Knarly when under boost. They could run an injection system that is boost referenced and creates a ramp, but most of these guys dont race at altitude, therefor dont have boost issues. The 12v being mechanical injection had a spool jet to kinda stoke the fire to the turbo, it has no electronics governing fuel delivery. Then as boost climbed the other solenoids kicked in. He's a drag racer, everyone else is street or not at all.

At 7:25, you can see them both deep staged, then Zack's truck inched ahead a bit more and broke the beam, causing a red light.
