Talking Saw a new record set in Alabama.....

By Scheid Diesel Motor sports at the NADM/Comped event in Steele Saturday night. They were the first to break into the 6's with a diesel powered dragster running a 6.93 at 193 mph. A big congratulation to Dan, Vickie and the entire Scheid motorsports team!!

Quite an accomplishment when you figure in the fact that the diesel engine weighs just about as much as a complete gasser dragster. Woo-Hoo there is hope for the rest of us oil burnin fanatics

So does this mean that Banks no longer can advertise their dragster as being the fastest diesel dragster?
