THE GREATEST SHOW IN DIESEL

Boyd went 1-2, followed by Dustin Hart in the Beyond Limits tractor.

ODSS Drag Racing

Saturday and Sunday saw drag racing at Crossroads Dragway, where the Outlaw Diesel Super Series (ODSS) was in full swing with bracket, index, and heads-up classes. At the drags, there was everything from bone stock trucks running 12-second eighth miles, to the 2,500 hp Scheid dragster, which slipped and slid down the track to an astounding 4.43 at 167 mph. RLC Motorsports also brought a rail of their own, and there were two diesel-motivated Nova’s and a number of other Pro Street trucks on hand that rocketed down into the 5-and-6-second eighth-mile zone. The E.T. Bracket and Big Rig classes saw double winners, as J. Graves took Big Rig and Joey Moore took the Jamo E.T. Bracket on both Saturday and Sunday.

The quicker index classes got a start on Saturday, with K.frey taking an impressive 7.701 win on a 7.70 dialin, while in the 6.70 class, S.higgins took the victory with a 6.88. Sunday would see the addition of Pro Dragster, Pro Stock, and Pro Street classes, which were won by Jared Jones, Ryan Milliken, and Dustin Jackson, respectively. The competition in 6.70 and 7.70 was fierce again on Sunday, as Larson Miller would take the victory in 7.70, with R.newbury taking the victory in 6.70 with a close 6.90 to 6.94 victory (with identical 0.16 lights) over Rick Fox.

After three days of action and 15 miles of walking, we were still left with the herculean task of summing up an event like this. Why come to Scheid’s? Because there’s more power in one place than you’ll see anywhere else. The show trucks are more creative, the drag vehicles are faster, and the crowds are bigger. Scheid’s isn’t just an event, it’s an extravaganza, and one you’ll remember for a long, long time.

 The 3.6 puller Boosted Outlaw had one of the most unique engine combinations we’ve seen, as the Cummins was put at approximately a 30-degree tilt to clear the hoodline. It must not hurt, as driver Jared Cox took the win on Saturday.

 CW Cartmell’s Most Hated is normally right towards the top, but struggled this year with a best of 9th, proving just how strong the pulling field is at Scheid’s.

 We didn’t see too many common-rail trucks in the finals of the PPL pulls, but Tony Burkhard was one Duramax who made it, finishing a best of 10th in the Saturday night pulls.

 The Haisley Machine entry driven by Jacob Bair put on a show on Friday night, putting a huge amount of space between him and second place with a 311-foot pull in the Diamond Pistons Pro Stock class.

 The normally 3.6 Grin-n-bair-it truck jumped up a class and is now a Super Stocker, despite having portions of its factory frame intact!
