Diesel Truck Nats @ E-Town
Went to the US Diesel Truckin Nationals at Englishtown, NJ yesterday - saw two trucks there I thought I should mention here.
First was a '81-'87 1/2 ton, SB, 2WD Chevy pickup that was doing rather well in the Bracket racing. When I spotted it in the pits later, the open hood revealed a SWEET 3.9L 4BTA Cummins /Auto trans combo! He won every round I saw him race, and he ran in the 15s if I remember correctly. VERY cool.
The other was a somewhat recent green Dodge Dakota. It was very high and mighty on swamper rubber, with the hood in the 5' range from the ground. What caught my eye was the gleaming Intercooler with pusher fans smiling at me from behind the grille - and then the late model Ram Cummins emblems on the fenders (ala '03-'05 Rams). I was only able to inspect it from the outside, as the hood was closed and the owner absent. It drove by me on its way out later on, and it was definately a B series. I dont remember if it had NY or NJ tags, but perhaps someone on here knows of it? It looked nice from what I could see.
Other than that, it was a Diesel lovers paradise, as always!
