Join ATS Diesel for one of the largest truck shows in the country!
July 19 - 20, 2008 will feature the largest display of diesel power in the Rocky Mountain Region. Oil burners return to Thunder Mountain in Colorado to compete in sled pulling and drag racing. 2007's event was a great time, and we hear this year will be even better.
One of the crowd favorites, the Cummins Racing - ATS Diesel/Valvoline Premium Blue powered dragster of Scott and Dustin Bentz, will be on hand. This modified rail is propelled down the track by a Cummins ISB motor and was the first diesel dragster to make a 7 second quarter mile pass, doing so on BlueSun biodiesel!
All kinds of diesel truck owners will attend the event and weigh their skills against other bracket racers and sled pullers, as well as watch the action and check out the vendor midway. The truck pull features diesel pickup pilots pitting their skill and pulling power against a 40,000 lb. sled determined to make them stop on Bandimere's exclusive pull track!
Make sure to catch Colorado's premier truck event this July.
Scheid Diesel Motorsports' diesel dragster breaks another record. The fastest diesel dragster continues to be at the top. The car ran at Alabama International Dragway on May 18, 2008 with a time of 6.93 and a speed of 193 mph. The car, driven by Bo Layne, is now the first and only diesel powered vehicle in the 6's.
Scheid Diesel has designed the engine for the Spitzer built chassis, to achieve 200 mph in the quarter mile. This 300 inch rear engine dragster is powered by a Cummins 5.9L B-series diesel engine. The engine and drive train has been custom designed by Scheid Diesel. They are very close to exceeding the 200 mph barrier. See their Dragster on display at the DHRA Diesel Nationals in the Scheid Diesel booth.
Scheid Diesel is a diesel fuel injection shop that uses decades of experience to build performance diesel engines. All three Scheid Diesel locations; Effingham, IL; Terre Haute, IN and Lafayette, IN continue to offer excellent parts and service to a wide variety of diesel engine for on and off road use.

In 1983, Transfer Flow, Inc. began operations with just 3,000 square feet of space and five employees. Now in its 25th year, the company employs 90 skilled craftsmen—35 of which have 10 years of seniority or more—and has grown to include two facilities with a total of over 70,000 square feet. “It seems like yesterday that we first opened the door and walked into our newly leased building,” recalls Transfer Flow president, Bill Gaines. “With five new employees, we had to find business right away. We immediately got on the phones and started cold calling. As it turned out, we made a profit in our second month of business, and we never looked back.”
Transfer Flow’s main business in the early years was producing fuel tanks for motorhome manufacturers. A few years later, Transfer Flow started designing aftermarket fuel systems, which accounted for 54% of its sales in 2007.
Family owned and operated, Transfer Flow manufactures aftermarket and OEM fuel tank systems, fuel fillneck kits, and tanks for hydraulic and generator applications. Transfer Flow plans to celebrate its 25th anniversary with a day-long barbecue for its employees and their families. Transfer Flow, Inc. (800) 442 0056; www.transferflow.com.
Our congratulations go out to long-term Turbo Diesel Register advertiser, Transfer Flow!

OK, we've got another fun contest coming up in early May, so we're going to post something easy for the next two weeks.
Let's give away another $100 fuel card.
To be included, all you have to do is post a list of what's lurking in the bed of your truck. (Hint: since we won't be auditing your entries, we're really looking for fun reading here.)
Keep it clean and fun, please.
We'll draw one lucky winner from all of the entries on Sunday, May 4.
And keep your eyes open for our next fun contest. We're hoping (if we can get some software snags ironed out) to post it in early May.
Happy posting!

I so enjoyed those photographs! Good luck putting that thing back together (snicker).
Webmaster, Steve St. Laurent, found this photo in one of his many web surf expeditions. It is common knowledge that the truck will be redesigned for the 1500 series customer for model year 2009 ...
