Link brought up a blank page for me. From their website:
We'll invite 10 trucks, and their drivers, to each event in order to pit them against each other in a quarter-mile drag race, sled pull, chassis dyno shootout, and a 100-mile on-road drive with a trailer-towing test. The competitors will receive prizes, bragging rights, and pictures of their truck in Diesel Power magazine. Readers from around the world are invited to submit this form, along with a picture of their vehicle.

To show the world what our trucks are capable of, Diesel Power magazine is going to hold two competitions this year: one on the West Coast in May, and one back East in September.

Fill in as many blanks as you can. If you don't know the answer, make one up, put down your best guess, or just leave it blank. We won’t publish any of your contact information, or anything we think would embarrass somebody. Then, cut out this form and mail it back to us with a photo of what you drive. And, as with everything in life, the sooner you do it the better!

I wouldn't have anything to do with anything associated with Diesel Power Mag . They don't know squat about trucks . Their choice for a truck to run the Baja 1000 was a 6.0 Powerstroke. 
.Needless to say they failed to finish . That was in their March issue which is the last issue I'll ever buy . They ****** me off . 
. This is what they say about truck drivers and waitresses- " Driving a long-haul big rig can be smelly , hard work for marginal pay-not to mention a relentless string of truck-stop diners with gum-cracking,hair-sprayed waitresses serving up burnt coffee,overcooked burgers, and fries .....So , the romance fades,and you decide to get a desk job that pays a whole lot more, but drains your soul a single drop at a time . "
Now if any of you have friends or family that are drivers , waitresses or even cooks you should really take offense to this and fire off e-mails to the editor of that poor excuse for a magazine . Smelly , menial paying ? I bet drivers make a whole lot more than the wimp that wrote the artcle . What the hell does he consider smelly ? A lot of jobs in different industries don't exactly smell like roses but a man can handle it . I doubt Steve Temple ,the dude that wrote the article ever raised a toilet seat in his life . He probably cried watching Bareback Mountain . He wouldn't be able to handle that job either . **** smelly sheep .

i guarantee you this.. The trucks that they will pick will be poster trucks for banks or some other high funders for the magazine, and guess what, they will win too... Unfair...

Nuthuggers lol I have to agree though. Basically all they show is fords thats a jacked sky high and are for show only. I think thats was ticks me off more than anything is one a diesel truck jacked way up in the air (sorry fellows came from a place were diesel were made to work, its pretty hard to pull a trailer with a 30 foot lift) and 2 the trucks probaly never see off road, or work. whats the freakin point of havein a diesel if you aint gonna use it. Do everyone a favor and go buy you a forgien grocery getter that runs off soy milk or something. My latest issue sure will make good fire starter.

I got this months issue also, did some reading while waiting for and during my flight back from CT on Tuesday. It's slowly becoming another bling bling truck magazine. With just enough yee haw in it to say its a truck magazine. Banks, Edge and fly by night product advertisers all over the place. 
I've noticed they're starting to focus towards the overly wealthy folks who have nothing to do with their money but ruin a perfectly good 4x4 diesel trucks with huge lifts, large deep dish rims and loud paint jobs.
