High-performance diesel trucks such as these congregated at the 2009 TS Performance Outlaw Drag Race and Sled Pull this month in Bowling Green, Ky. Deep in the heart of diesel truck country, this event attracts hundreds of trucks, along with thousands of people who come to participate, test and witness the extreme performance capabilities of these vehicles.
Caption: Spectators got to see many of the sled-pull vehicles up close as they prepared for competition. Several classes included street-driven trucks with bigger turbos and counterweights added to the front.
The show included a portable dynamometer for truck owners to show off their machines’ power. John Powell and his 2007 Chevy Silverado Duramax made 811 hp and 1,303 pounds-feet of torque, while Jason Revis and his 2005 Dodge Ram, equipped with a 5.9-liter Cummins, netted 516 hp and 1,068 pounds-feet of torque. While other trucks pulled big numbers on the dyno, the fun was cut short due to some torrential rains and strong winds that blew in that afternoon.
