diesel motorsports on cable tv!!!

why are there no diesel motor sports covered on tv? they have a bunch of shows on muscle cars rice rockets and 4 wheeling why not one that shows all the cool diesel stuff? something that covers all the 9 second drag runs and smoke pouring sled pulls and just showing cool upgrades and custom stuff that people do. the diesel community has grown so large but yet we are not out in the public like other motor sports. does anyone know of such shows?

Probably because some of those shows cover diesel parts. Trucks, Extreme, Gears all have a diesel project or two.

yea i know sometimes on the show trucks they put a banks kit on a truck or a air filter. im talking about a whole project were they build a sled puller and cover the diesel events over the year. when i was younger i used to always watch the tractor pulls on espn but that was about 10 years ago.

ttcfan i have a question for you... how are you going to rig the electrical for the vgt when you get the he351? and i agree with the diesel garage. and maybe they can also do some stuff that stacey david used to do like go to the diesel department of wyotech and do the big rig how it works section.

Extreme has a vegi oil burnin diesel Suzuki. Trucks is putting an old ford body onto a 2500 ram chassis and making a dually. It would be nice if they had a show where they beat it into every one's head you do not need to black out an intersection to get lots of power out of a diesel.
