U.S Diesel truckin' nationals in Englishtown, NJ

Saturday September 17th at Raceway park in Englishtown.

One of the best diesel events of the year IMO, Truck show, vendors giving out free stuff, Big rigs racing, dump trucks racing, trash trucks racing and most importantly pickup races ALL DAY including bracket racing where you could actually win money.....Jet engine cars at night + monster trucks and other stuff.....Lots of old big rigs like B-mac's and stuff....also a burnout contest, you get a big trophy if you win

Anyone near there should go! I wanna get some 1st gens there.

Here's a video that shows some highlights and the big rigs, but theres no pickups racing in the video but trust me they race them in between the big rigs all day......

I know a couple NJ 1st genners on here that have no excuse to not go unless they have to work or something!

I`d LOVE to go but my heap is in the yard with the trans sitting on a jack...and I have to work anyhow, dang. I went to one of the 1st ones back in the day (86?) and it was a blast with a capital "B", a great event for sure.

It is a great event for sure but I won't be able to make it cause I have a wedding to go to. This will be the first one I have missed in 8 years or so.

I would go, but it always falls on the weekend that we all go to PA for 4x4 racing, so me and my 1st gen will be many many miles away unfortunately

I don't have a conflict (yet), let me see if my daughter wants to go down with me...only 75 miles away, gives my rig a chance to stretch his legs

we always laugh when we hear the Raceway Park commercial (same one they've been playing since the 70s), would be fun to see it in person and meet some local 1st genners

I'll actually be there covering the event! No Rust Bucket though

Say hello if you see me, I'll be the guy wandering around with a camera and a Diesel Power shirt on.
