Anyone that didn't have the chance to attend the first ever DHRA Utah Diesel Nationals definitely missed out on one of the best shows of the season. It's safe to say that diesel performance competition is striving in the West. With packed stands and a long list of competitors we're glad we didn't miss out. A handful of 11-second daily drivers and plenty of big horsepower trucks on the dirt sled pulling track offered hours of fun in the sun in the thin air of Utah. Big chargers, big fuel, and that diesel junky atmosphere-is there any better way to spend a Saturday?
