This year’s 4th of July Kitsap Diesel Rally was a blast! The turnout was smaller than we’ve had at previous events due to the holiday weekend, but those who were there had a lot of fun.

Of course the Dodge trucks outnumbered other brands (go Cummins!), but we did have several Duramaxes and Powerstrokes as well. TDR provided very nice Show-n-Shine plaques for Best Dodge Cummins, Best Ford Powerstroke, Best Chevy Duramax, Best Alternative Diesel, Best in Show, and People’s Choice. Geno’s Garage also gave several door prizes and a $50 gift certificate; great support for the Cummins folks!

We had several entries for the chili competition, with ribbons through 3rd place and a gift certificate sponsored by Minder Meats of Bremerton, WA. Everyone got plenty to eat with potluck in addition to chili.

B&B Landscaping brought one of their dump trucks loaded with sand, and we had an informal pull. It was great to see our “little” diesels tugging that big rig with sand flying!

The band, Knucklehead, played late into the night and really rocked! A fun group of guys with talent to spare, they took requests from Skynard to Zeppelin and kept us dancing.

Thanks to all participants and sponsors! We look forward to making next year’s event even bigger and better.
