There were fireworks at the sixth annual Drag Illustrated World Series of Pro Mod race in Bradenton, Florida over the weekend. In the finals, it was two-time NHRA Pro Mod World champ Stevie “Fast” Jackson lined up against Steve King, with King’s 3.629 at 204.82 mph giving him the win against Jackson’s close, 3.653-second eighth-mile at 203.55 mph. In earning the win, King also laid claim to the massive $150,000 payout that was on the line. Ken Quartuccio, last week’s winner of Radial vs. The World at Lights Out 16 in Georgia, was also able to lock up the inaugural Drag Illustrated Winter Series points championship in Bradenton.

We've been watching for oddities on Bring A Trailer for a long time. Every now and then something really cool pops up and we share it here. Well, we're not alone in our search for the cool and odd. Diesel Army's Monica Gonderman recently wrote an article on oddball diesels found on Facebook Marketplace. Gonderman found the really odd stuff, most we didn't even know existed in the US (like a 1999 Toyota HiAce minivan powered by a 3.0L turbodiesel). Man, we really hope she makes this a regular column.

Just as the title indicates, this 6.7L Power Stroke is quickly approaching the million-mile mark and, according to the Facebook group, DieselTrucking, is still going strong. The workhorse with all these miles on the odometer is a ’14 model year F-350. However, while we tend to believe the 6.7L V-8 could be 100-percent factory, we are curious if the engine has ever required a turbo replacement (for the infamous, dual compressor GT32 SST) or lunched a CP4.2 high-pressure fuel pump. We would also be curious what the transmission history looked like—potentially all clear as the 6R140 is known to last well over 500,000 miles if properly maintained. This 900K candidate also has us wondering if there are any true, 1-million mile 6.7L Fords out there…

FP Truck Fest 3.0 is going down this weekend in Jamestown, Tennessee. In preparation for one of the largest truck show gatherings in the country, Fitzgerald Performance owner Blake Fitzgerald decided to blow the cobwebs out of the shop truck and put some heat into the burnout pad last week. In the process, the fourth-gen Ram’s rear AAM 1150 diff exploded—so Blake promptly got a replacement coming, plus a spare, proving (once again) his dedication to put on the best show possible. Aside from the burnout competition at FP Truck Fest 3.0, the Northwest Dyno Series’ renowned SuperFlow will be on the grounds, measuring horsepower for the dyno competition this weekend.

It’s official, truck and tractor pulling—in conjunction with the Indiana Pulling League—will return to the 4-Wheel Jamboree Fall Nationals held at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds in Danville, Indiana. Remember the old, invite-only hook in Indy all of your friends talked about? This is the one! The 44th annual Jamboree will commence on September 19th and conclude on the 21st in 2025, with truck classes presumably being the IPL’s 2.6 smooth bore and 3.0 smooth bore categories. Just like the old days, expect dozens of the best-running diesel trucks around to put on a show—and do it in front of a packed grandstand.

From 2016 to 2022, commercial truck crashes have increased by 30-percent—and it’s an increase that some believe is linked to drivers who either can’t speak English fluently or who don’t interpret English road signs appropriately. Shannon Everett, co-founder of American Truckers United, broke the news in a Cowboy State Daily article published on Friday. Everett states that crashes involving commercial vehicles have been on the rise since 2016, the year the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration issued orders that safety instructors were not allowed to suspend drivers for failing to communicate proper English. Everett also points out, more or less, that many new commercial drivers don’t speak native English, may not understand the English language well enough to know what U.S. road signs mean, and also aren’t familiar with the hazards involved in North American winter driving.
