US Diesel Nationals - September 18 2010

couldn't tell if they were drag racing or hauling load ..?


after a few runs ..I stopped clicking, it was too boring


jet engined dragsters starting up..more interesting then the diesels..

one of the monsters warming up..

monster trucks doing their thing.



another round of the dragsters..

a beautiful long nose peterbilt specimen..

behind the scenes, big tyres are replaced with smaller ones to help move the trucks around in the pit area

smaller tyres, note the suspension..

closeup of the jet dragster

its just a basic chasis with a jet engine bolted on and a 1 peice body on top..so simple..


that torpedo shaped thingy is the fuel tank, just enough for 400 metres..
