Last Saturday the 29th I attended the NHRDA Pacific Coast Nationals in Woodburn, Oregon. This was my first time and will go again. If you have not been, check it out.
The show consisted of Diesel Drag Racing, Dyno Contest, Vendor Booths, Show & Shine, Burnout Contest, and finally a Truck Sled Pull. It all started at 10:00 a.m. and ended at around 9:00 p.m. Woodburn Dragstrip was the location and they have real nice facilities.
NHRDA Pacific Coast Nationals is coming to Oregon!
This should be another great event. NHRDA hold 8-events across the USA in 2013. This one is held in Woodburn, Oregon, about 32-miles south of Portland, Oregon. We will attend and be uploading event coverage soon.
Pacific Coast Nationals
Truck enthusiast have been waiting 28-years for a OEM to introduce a Diesel 1/2 Ton. I know the EPA makes life difficult for them, but for the life of me, 28-years sure seems like a long time. If this truck experiences a successful roll-out which I know it will, the other guys will be scrambling to figure out how to get a diesel engine into a 1/2 ton truck.
